Seriously just get the motor out (as it has to be done anyways).
Either crack the short block open and rebuild or buy a new 207
(from links forde posted above) Grab new head gaskets and bolt everything back together.

Did sound real bad!

Looked like a nice car though, pity about the dokdok

Whats the full specs on the block? Just a set forgies or has everything else been done? No need to scream 207 if all the good bits of a decent 2.5 are in there. Rip it out and have a look, needs to be done anyway.

And who tuned it?

When i get a chance at home imm type up whats been built in with the motor..other then that..the car was tuned by maximum a year or so ago

2.5ltr same wiring assembly as a 2ltr?

As long you retain the same manifold/heads then yes.

Rang maximum earlier...had a word with dean, and by the sounds of it, i cant put a 207 motor as the wiring will be all different..looks like im just going to have to buy a short block 2.5ltr and bolt my heads and everything else...shame because i was going to buy bennys motor...

hang on, one thing i dont understand, you bought a car from Balga with a farked main bearing (as advertised) but you didn't know about it? you didn't read the ad properly and you didn't get the mechanical checks done on it? also you have no idea whether it's a ppg/dog/cat gearbox?

mate i'm sorry to hear that it will cost you lot of $ but learn the lessons
