whats easier engine change or head change and what work is involved in just doing the head the last one i did was a 1.4 gt turbo head bit more simple i would imagine and that was 8 years ago

so cos my car is smoking (leaky valve seals) changing the head would cure this wouldn't it?
It depends if there is any wear in the bottom end frank but yes the head is always a good pleace to start
Just took the rocker cover off to find that I couldn't undo the head bolts I snapped my old torque wrench lol.
Ooh dear, that doesn't sound promising..
