The thing is lots of people say don't buy a Chinese head as they are inferior copies but the heads milners sell are from the land of the corner shop take-away as well !

Getting very peeved with this motor , i suppose the moral of the story is never buy something that seems cheap off a farmer...

Every pre combustion port has cracks in it so short of changing them (huge cost i would imagine) i dont think anything can be done with it.

Groovy. Tiny bit of good luck in an otherwise sh*te deal.

Yes i would have had that as spending ANOTHER £450 on this motor is playing on my mind a bit......I actually v v nearly said sod it and turned this one into a breaker aswell.

I am off next week so i plan to do it then, you never know this one might have cracked by the end of march and i can take it off you then
