I duno why im so bothered but iv seen a corsa im interested in, its done 70odd thousand but 2k ago the water pump failed which made the cambelt slip in turn bending the valves. Its now had new water pump, new cambelt, new valves and guides and a new head gasket
For some reason, im cusious about goin to view it.

only thing that puts me off is the thought that obviously the engine siezed when it happened, so although the main bits have been chnaged like the water pump, cambelt, valves and guides and a head gasket but what else has it put mass wear and tear on?

take the plunge lol mines is booked in to a garage on friday so im asking them to have a good look over the engine to see if theres any tell tale signs. to be fair, my car drove from wales to scotland perfect and hasnt put a foot wrong since ive owned it. i know what you mean though, its daunting
