Post subject:	Found it.......(Terrigal Run Problems...)
Hey all, finally got around to diagnosing the Brick... Guess what? ANOTHER FREAKING HEAD GASKET !! I was pretty sure that the head is a little warped, now I'm sure.... Less than 150Km on this one (Pair, actually) Clean Burn, right between 2 and 3.. same place it went the last two times... I would expect that if it was purely detonation causing it, it would be more "Random" on the cylinder that it targets... but its always between 2 and 3 ... Heads off to the machine shop on Monday..... Kev, maybe time to talk about one of your "DRMini Specials" .......... J

james,, wouldnt have anything to do with them two leads being in the wrong spot maybe?? have you tried the acl gasket? Did u re torque the head? spose there are a few reasons why they keep blowing,, nothing to do with running 30psi of boost

Shhhh, it was only 16Psi on saturday.... Nahh, the leads were right to start with and they were only wrong for about 30 seconds..... Just a nice warped head..... (sounds like something Mrs KazJim says about me..... hhhmmmmm) J

Yes, Yes Yes !! I'll grab a few and make it worth your time.... Make it 3 ? Also, can you get the steel-backed Inlet / exhaust gaskets ? (Rover ones... EXCELLENT!!) Thanks... J

James, just fit a 940 or 1316 head, and BK450 turbo gasket = no more problems! Chamber size = whatever you want up to 30cc or so. ALL the smallbore heads flex more than the bigass 1275 ones do.

Take your pick James-- #1, 12G1316- needs exhaust seats but that's no problem to get done. I have some Rover unleaded inserts. #2, 12G1316- G.R. & I fixed the rusted inlet seat with a 4140 insert, it just needs all seats recut now and it's a goer. Both heads are bare now but I have 1 set of valves- If I were you I'd buy new ones. They are pretty cheap now. 1100S inlets 12G941 $14.12 each 1275 exhausts 12G1322 $20.32 each. Karcraft's prices- not worth mucking about with S/H is it.
