danny-baby Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 if its done that then yes i would, if its just gone and not over heated then will be fine to replace as if its been skimmed before all your doing is raising the compression, you dont want to do that to much on these 4eftes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep82paul Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 It never overheated when it went the 1st time it just went put new hg and bolts on it had it started for about 40mins drove it about a mile then it must of gone again hopefully the head isent wrapped Quote Link to post Share on other sites
