a 620?
They were about the best one

I had a 214 for a while, nice enough car, but the head gasket went if you so much as looked at it funny. Terrible engine.

K series
bag of shite. Metal head gasket with an iron block on an ally head.

You might as well tattoo "this car will blow up at 40,000 miles" on it.

Yup
and built like a sandwich with the head bolts going all the way to the sump, so needing a stupidly complex loosening and tightening sequence, during which you couldn't move anything. Utter shite.

me and a friend sorted the engine out in a day and a half.
