Its only a waste if it doesn't work out in the end

I know its been a while since the last update. Long story short I never managed to contact the previous owner but found that the car was run with little to no oil after the oil cooler accident happened. That resulted in a seized intake camshaft. The motor is currently apart and getting a new cylinder head since the camshaft wore into the aluminum head.
Sounds like a small nightmare. Hopefully no scoring or other damage to rod bearings or turbo bearings happened during that starvation. Good luck - sounds like a labour of love 😊

PS are you considering doing a crank hub fix whilst it's being rebuilt?
