imo the only alternative to replacing the engine is replacing the timing chain and that is going to cost more than a grand i'm guessing, but it may not fix bent valves, which is an expensive teardown. most guys will just get you a new/remanufactured set of heads.
now you're approaching the cost of replacing the engine in the first place.

I worked in an auto parts store in the 80's that specialized in British car parts. I hated that job and all British cars. What pieces of shit.

I thought German cars had metal timing chains? The Jap cars all are plastic and go out around 100K. Depending on the car it can do a lot of damage. I had my Tundra changed around 90K but my BMW has 120K with no issues...knock on wood.

Sitting in my Spitfire I could, without lifting my bum from the seat, reach out of the window and just barely touch the ground.

He threw me under the bus one day when some guy came in to pick up a part that he was supposed to order. Chewed me out right in front of the customer. I woke up one Saturday and decided I didn't want to work there anymore. I didn't call or anything.
