Subject: Re: 16/80 head gasket problems
Hello Ray,
Thanks for the reply.
The carbs settings have not been touched (I also mark the current setting with a little piece of wire so I always no where they are if any changes are made).
The block was totally restored 7,000miles ago, machined, sleeved and pressure tested (I cannot see how I could cracked it but if everything else checks out OK then it will need investigating).
Regarding the plate at the rear of the block, yes this has been reduced slightly in depth to give adequate clearance.
Now as for the studs, these are new stock from the club along with the nuts.
Best Regards
Chris
