new engine from milners or a v8

If you plan to keep it buy a new engine from milners about £1850.
Loads of people buy so called re con engines, fit them and they go bang within 12 months.
Most are sold by Cowboys who jet wash them off and give them a lick of paint to look the part but thats it.

If I didn't want to get muddy anymore this would be mine

I was really hoping that this experience was gonna be a good one after owning it for a week and a half think it gonna have to go never even got round to getting muddy in it

How much were you thinking on spending on it @Alexpotter ... as with a dodgy block then its not worth a lot . As a complete guess, Its obviously built up pressure to blow oil out ....are all the cranckcase breather pipes clear....allowing it to breath properly ...It may be a simple fix yet, where are you another member may be able to look and offer help
