After I warped the head on the second day due to a bad heater hose connection and faulty temp sensor and thermostat (read normal while there was no water!) I replaced everything that needed replacing. Its kinda dumb but at the time I didnt know if had been told that it needed things done I would have done them. Then gradually I got my pod filter, and everything else. Its a cheap remedy and at the time I didnt have alot of money and just needed the car to go.
In the end I was driving about with badly worn rings which scuffed the block. Drank alot of oil and would smoke bad at high revs in low gears. I drove it for over a year like this. It would have been better just to get replace the whole thing or just do up the block at the same time.
