new rover 200 engine - Pat Waz 2205

hi i own a rover 200 hatchback and recently me and my car had a difference of opinion. this resulted in a ruined piston two cracked valves and a scored head in total about a grand and bit worth of damage. i dont want to have to scrap my car as it is worth far more than that, do you think it would be advisable to buy a new engine or repair my exsisting one. the engine is a 1.4 twin cam 16v injection.

new rover 200 engine - Civic8

I dont think its worth repairing..Google search come up with
www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=recon+cylinder+h...h

possibly a recon or second hand low mileage..Though I cannot relate low mileage to an engine ie its used..Dont know how much a new unit is. so cannot help there..Try rovers for a quote..then cost of recon/second/H plus fitting.As regard second hand make sure you check the warranty out before buying..people often get caught out with these.Especially small print..Hope that helps
