TP!! :x
I think you will find that is NOT!!! what I said ???
What I said was that in my experience,with my cars,ive had no problems!!!
ALSO!!
""If as an owner, "whoever it may be",you want to go to all the expense and hassle of fitting SD1 heads,composite head gaskets, additives,fuel injection,efi,ecu's ,etc, etc!! then go for it,its your car!!
If you have a std p6v8 whatever year it is,and it is running fine,then there is no earthly reason why you need to go to these measures!!""
Some cars do have problems,some dont,some marques need rebuilds,head work,some just need re-tuning and plugs,or an additive!!
And another thing!!
Dealers and engineering companies do not always tell you the whole truth however believable or knoweledgeable they may seem!!!
Most joe public back then belived what was said,and many did have expensive u/l work done to their cars when it wasnt required!!
If you went in back then and said, "I need my head rebuilt for u/l", how many would say!!
"actually all you need to do is retard the ign by a bit,rather than spend £££'s on a new head"
After all they have to make money somehow!!
