was it a late engine with the plastic tensioners?
sorry to hear of your misfortune, maybe next time you'll put a cambelt kit on it??!
you just never know with second hand high milage units out of hot hatches or off ebay
best of luck again..

do you still have the head from the other engine? was that all intact (valves etc), can it be a straight swap? head bolts/gaskets only come to about
£50..
