Waterpump - £25
Head set (valves, guides, gaskets) - £60ish
Timing belt kit inc. Idlers - £60ish again
Cost to get a head built up with the new valves, about £40-ish at a backstreet garage. Easy enough to do the work yourself if your fairly competent! If not, expect labor to be about £150-£250 mark...

OR just source another X14XE for about £200 and spend the day with a few mates, and swap it over

the bloke at the garage said it wud be more than that, he said the valves are about 18 quid each and i need most of them, thos e and all the other parts dont make it worth doin, was gonna sell it in a month when my sports on the road,only wanted around 600,not worth spending more than 150 on it i dont think.
strip and sell get some of my 600, and at least i got some spares for the sport lol.
shud get it back tomoz so if any1 wants any of it let me know
