B200F cylinder head -- a cry for help!
My old faithful 1994 940 Wentworth LPT has overheated and warped its cylinder head. The garage (who I trust) have pronounced the head too warped to be repaired; that may well be because it was previously skimmed after a very severe overheating episode many years ago. So I'm now in urgent need of a cylinder head, whilst also not being knowledgeable as to which heads will be suitable. Does anyone out there have a straight head for sale, or one suitable for reconditioning? Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
l have a complete Wentworth engine sat outside my workshop, l altered the back of a Peugeot at a roundabout many years ago and sadly broke the car. lt has been covered up and l see no reason why it should not do the job although l've had some of the manifold studs, l'm a bit reluctant to split but for the right reasons l will consider it. You see....... l still run a Wentworth and parts are getting difficult, also bear in mind l'm in WR11 7PD area for collection if need be. Andy 07730387598 |

Could just be a lifesaver. I've tried to phone but you weren't about -- when's a good time?

Just to follow up -- the car is back on the road with a replacement cylinder head, and running nicely. Many, many thanks to Andy for the necessary.

what was the cause of the dramatic overheat ? you can usually get away with it if you stop as soon as you notice anything ...
