Re: Cooling System woes....
Well car is finally back with a completely brand new head on it and runs like a dream!!!! With the head off there were 3 cracks in it, one completely across between the valves.
Signs of coolant in #1 cylinder and with some minor pitting but nothing to worry about.
So after nearly 2 years of issues since the rebuild I think I finally have it the way it needs to be.
On a side note I completely withdraw any previous recommendation I provided for Red Hill Engines / Engines Direct in Stafford QLD.
However I could not recommend enough the work being done by M T Auto's at Strathpine. Mark took the time to show me the issues and problems and I have come to the conclusion that due to my inexperience and naiveness 2 years ago I was ripped off on a $13k rebuild, hard lessons learnt yes but since then and now I am more knowledgeable and have a better understanding on what I need to ask and demand for if I ever have to go through this again. (Shame I didn't visit M T Auto earlier, I could have had a Lexuz V8 in it by now!!!!)
