Well...update time.....

Quite literally whipped the head off this evening in double quick time - 50mins & that included taking the bonnet off for easier access! LOL!

....and what I found was quite interesting......infact perhaps me not fitting the liner seal was a blessing in disguise....

This is how my 2.1mm uprated headgasket now looks like....



On cylinder 1 its blown the firering out diagnonally downwards....cylinder 2 its elongated the firerings which then in turn as mis-shapen the top of cylinder 3!!!!

Strangely enough the car still ran mint, didnt overheat, didnt pressurise & didnt misfire! LOL! Good job I took it apart anyway otherwise the mapping session in Belgium would certainly of blown it completely!!!

I believe I know wot caused it but what in peoples opinions think may of caused it???
