Unsing a 1.3 to resprayt your car.....

Our MK1 golf cambelt stripped and bent all the valves a few weeks ago BUMMA!!

I have finaly got the head rebuilt and the car back together today..

First test fire was fine, ran OK. :) quite happy!

the second one,… Cranked for five seconds and then fired up.. Then the windscreen started to go black.. So I turned off.. 8O

The screen and half the roof were now black… :|

Bloomin pipe from the oil preasure switch had failed and split from the union pumping oil at high preasure all over the car! MARVELOUS!!! :clap:

All sorted now, bar a leak from the thermostat housing..

Oh and I blew up my kenlowe hot start…

And it took me 20 mins in the pouring rain to wash the car down… :?

Unlucky mate but glad you got it sorted now.

Should have left the oil coating on the car - would stop any rust! :lol:
