Yeah, dump the smoking to save money, get a cheap little runabout for Karen and then take your time fixing the Landy and you'll be right.
I had a bad week last week too, but stuck it out and its coming good now.

Yeah SORRY guys i was just havin a winge bitch . I'm sure ill figure it out..Hey sleeps I thought you already QUIT lol..:p
Ah oneday i'll stop..
Well today has been better all bar the filthy headache ive had all bloody day..
Well went & looked at the green one today started it again & still the same so the fairies had'nt been..
So gave it a compression test the front 2 cylinders where at 170psi
The 3rd & 4th where at 165psi & 150psi
& the 5th & 6th where at 160psi BUT the 6th one was a mystery as there was no reading at all, HMMMMMMMM..
So did a wet test on the last cylinder & still no reading at all..
Took the tester out & used my thumb over the plug hole & theres a very faint suck , blow there..MMMMMMMM
OK so i gets a screw driver to see where the piston was & it was sittin at the top so i says to Karen just give the key a kick lets see if it moves & yep its moving..
So i put the plug back in & said to karen turn it over & i felt all round the back & sides of the head to see if it was a head gasket could'nt feel anything so did the same again but with a little oil aroung the head & no bubbles..
So off with the tappet cover to check out all the valves & valve train & all looked good.
So asked Karen to turn it over & all valves are working fine .
So off comes the head tomorrow & the sump to change the piston rings as they are the only thing in the engine i didnt change when i built the engine.So i recon the rings are completely gone on the rear cylinder & wearing on the rest SO i'll replace them with a new head gasket & sump gasket & all should be fine & dandy & back on the road..Well a week from thursdy wen i get paid again YAY..
I will also check everything else while its apart but everything else should be ok as its bandnew only didnt change the rings.. So that should fix it..
BLOODY CARS ..:twisted:

I know that first hand mate. Sorry I sounded like a grumpy old bugger in my last post. I think...no....I know I was more ****ed off with myself.
As they say on the ads - maybe we should go and visit a quack. They have all sorts or ways to help us.:angel:
Dont feel guilty about it, its just something we both know we should do. :)
