Puzzling head feature

Grifter, thanks for the advice. When you did your engine upgrade did you do the head assembly and wire work yourself. If so, what gaskets did you use and did you do any before and after compression checks?

How's that B9 of yours, missing the Griff yet?

Ian at sportmotive did the build up. We had fun with the gaskets IIRC as the copper composite ones were no longer available. I think we bought quality composite ones from v8d in the end on their recommendation. It's important that the fire ring on the gasket is wide enough to seat the wills ring. It all went together and stayed together well.

The b9 fares well, thanks. I've just had an exhaust and headers fitted which make the 6 pot sound a lot like the Griffith! I wish I'd bought my old 4.3 back at the price it went for but I'm pleased with the b9. I can take the kids in it which means I actually use it...
