Hopefully once full head gasket kit is fitted, head skimmed, rebuilt head, piston rings changes, con rod shells replaced,ports polished and pistons cleaned the old girl will be running perfect.
Just gotta buy a 4-2-1 manifold now! then a 2.5' system to my DTM all in good time!
Definitely putting in the time and effort mate, it will pay off in the end :)
Good work !
