Clio 182 Blown Engine (dropped valve)

[bell1991]

Just before christmas, my clio 182, suffered an engine failure, in the form of a dropped valve, on cruise control on the motorway of all places. The head is completely destroyed, aswell about 3 others pistons (pictures shown below), the block has managed to somehow stay unscathed, to the eye. I think the best solution would be to just stick another 182 engine in the car.

If anyone has a 182 engine for sale, or can put me into contact as to the best place to purchase one that would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Chris

The most annoying thing about this is that i had just finished buying all the bits i needed to do track events in it for this year lol

Cars have a habit of doing that don't they!! I was eying up a remap and a few tweeks and then my gearbox shat itself and I had to have a new clutch.... All for the love of cars eh!!
