Head Gasket Day

[Leatherman]

A really big thank you to Ade and Nigel for coming over yesterday to change my gasket. A really educational (long) day.

You're welcome Tony - a very productive day.
Just to put others in the know, we replaced the head gaskets on Tony's Gen1 yesterday and fitted nice new Cometic ones.
Changed the busted thermostat too.
Not quite enough time though to finish the job and fire-her-up.
"Keep us posted Tony."

[Viper Nigel]

No problem Tony it was a pleasure. As you say a long day but good progress made to get the beast back on the road.

Well done guys, that's what it's all about

[Dr-Bob]

Thats the team spirit....

All back together now but having changed the headers for Gen 2 tubular I realised they have a different connector to the elbows. Does anyone have a pair of v ring connectors kicking about.

[MADMAX-UK]

Is that somethin the local tyre-n-exhaust people can deal with?

[Leatherman]

Not found anything yet.All too small

The main difference being, one's in stock the other isn't......

Did you get the turn outs (cats) with your gen 2 headers ??
Gen 1 and 2 are different and dont match up ...
