Default blown head 98 sts uk

hello, unfortunately my head gasket has gone so time to re drill and tap the block. So far i have not found anyone who is able or willing to do the job, or is anyone i want to do the work. Help ..has anyone in the uk had the bad luck of this happening and if so any recomendations on who could do the work.. im in the midlands but the car doesnt overheat normally so could travel carefully for the right garage.. Many thanks Dave.. dont want to get rid but might have to

Kent Moore makes a kit to time-sert block. You may need to go to a dealer. The 1998 was designed for export. There is also a aftermarket stud(modified) kit. I don't know of successful in car repair. With engine on engine stand it's not too bad if you have proper tool kit. try ebay us or search it. good luck
