Yum was in for some work to have the solid lifters done.

Had noticed some marks in the head where the head gasket had been eating away at it


So Mark checked the block to find that the Mountune lines on the inside of 2 and 3 had moved by 1.5 thou

The head has some marks but was new so hopefully has not gone soft and can be reused will find out very soon.

Hopefully the liners and all the other parts will be saved and reused in 2nd hand block so will wait and see what Pete Mason has to say about the liners.


Totally gutted about the bad news and now not sure of the future of YUM will have to wait and see what the next couple of weeks bring


Looks like the Turkish block is only good for 500bhp if your lucky


Has anyone got a good 200 block???
