Great to see you guys today.
One day you'll get the reliability and results your hard work deserves.

Fingers crossed there's no other damage other than the head gasket and you get it sorted quickly. Good luck guys?

To be honest Tony I can't remember what time he turned up, but we were one the last to leave Gary's, then we had to go back to there depot where they had to unload the car and then load it onto another flatbed for the journey home.

off and stop people saying there's a cossie when its not.

Slowly but Surely.
A lot of discussions have been had, questions asked.
We are all now singing from the same sheet. Harmony has been restored:nod:

We know what happened and more importantly why it happened. So the new setup is a tried and tested one.

Alan had expressed some concerns about the mess grill, as much as we love it he was concerned as to whether the small knit mesh was restrictive to the airflow to the intercooler and rad. So whilst over at Gordon's they did some tests using Gordon's blower (dyno). It has been decided that it is to restrictive so alas it has to go:(

Bye Bye:banghead:

The new inlet cam that we fitted prior to our ill fated visiT to APT:)

The head all beautifully skimmed, ready to go back on.

New MLS Headgasket and ARP studs fitted.
