Thanks.And yes, that workshop really ripped you off. And you have not answered my question. Did they screw up the cam timing for you? And if they did, did they take responsibility and pay for it ?In fact, I think I get the big picture now as to what happened with your car. You said the cam timing was screwed up and you had to change the cylinder head ultimately. This was after you thought you had a HG issue, you took that out, then you sent the car with the head dissassembled to the workshop, they skimmed the head and reinstalled everything and sent it back to you. You later still had overheating and you thought your timing was bad, then you changed the cylinder head and everything is alright.Actually what happened is that your old HG was ok, it was your cylinder head that was cracked. Changing the hg would not have made any difference to the car. The first workshop installed it with the correct timing. Timing is very easy to do if you have the tools and a little experience, and if the timing is off, the engine will run ROUGH it is manages to start at all so your engine was running ok when you got the car back so timing was no the problem.The cylinder head was the problem. So after you got the car back, you still had overheating, thought you had some timing issues and the head had been screwed up, got a new head, did the job at a new workshop, and now your car is fine. Because the actual problem i.e. the crack in the cylinder head, had been eliminated.Bro maxion89 please confirm if this makes sense to you, thanks.</blockquote>
