Hmmm, Frans nou wat jy dit sê oor die head boute! Hulle is nooit met die rebuild vervang nie! Dink dis heel moontlik waar my fout lê! Waar kan ek ander kry behalwe die agente? Cedric seeing as its a new head I truly hope there are no cracks, but like you say pressure testing it wil be great piece of mind so I'll definatly have it done, thanx. Frans ek wonder na al die moeilikheid of ek nie my wa een of ander tyd as hy weer loop vir jou moet bring en hom sommer ñ week daar los.

Frans is doer far way in the deep south....haha... In the Cape, but maybe a good excuse to put a few km on the clock and then tackle the atlantis dunes in a 4.2 diesel...... great fun !!

Andre, sit nuwe head boude in. Dit kan help met jou fout as jy die ou boude gebruik het. Maar ek dink nie dis die hoof rede nie. Jy sal meer wys raak soos was Cedrick se met die sleeve hoogtes en so aan.
