Astra G Convertible Turbo story
Basically bought it with the half engine being apart.
The pre-owner tought the cylinder head was done and is pressing water into the burning room. I rebuilt the cylinder heads valves, renewed the valve stem seals, regrounded the valves, new headgasket etc... everything was in the car for that.
Actual problem was the turbo, it was very worn out and after building up some boost it pressed oil into the exhaust side which seemed to be white (prob why he thought, that the head/headgasket is done for), so i rebuilt the turbo for 140€
