I bought a C4 sight unseen off eBay for £8k

I would absolutely carry on. Fortune favours the brave.

It's an option but, honestly, I'd rather keep the car. I bought it knowing it would need money spending on it, and possibly big money.

I'd get on to them and ask them what they're going to do about it. They may offer to split the bill with you.
 
Well the oil cooler has been pressure tested and is fine. Engine coming out and bank 1 head getting stripped and inspected first.
 
If you can pull the plug tubes out on bank 1 you might well see the crack. You don't need to strip it. If a tube has a lot of oil in it I would check that one first. You might not even need to drop the engine.

Good luck, will keep my fingers crossed for you!
 
So my intermix issue turned out to be due to 2 cracks in my bank 2 head. Replacement head sourced today. It's been blasted, skimmed and pressure tested and the numbers match on the head/rocker cover/bearing caps.

Looks like you are well on your way. We seem to have had a few of these on here recently.

No way! Great news and congrats!

Are we allowed to ask what the damage was?

I'm trying not to think about it :eek:

Anyway, I highly recommend Unique Porsche in Bolton. They did an excellent job, fantastic attention to detail, great comms throughout and nowhere near as much as it could have been. Total was under £4k, including £600 for the head, which needed a new valve seat (it had already been skimmed, soda blasted and pressure tested). I had new cam chains and guides whilst it was apart, plus a few other bits. My air con works now, too.

Also confirmed all the Hartech work had been done: uprated IMS and bearing, cylinder strengthening, coolant mods. It should be pretty much bullet proof now (fingers crossed).
