But the donor head is good, and has not suffered HG failure?

Oct 2007 at 22:43 What would it cost just to have the donor one checked ?? in time and money .. just to be sure ?? Would avoid tremendous angst if, and I know its a big if, there were actually a problem with it. Surely worth a day or two to check it .. my 2.7 p's (inc VAT)

I think Tunnie paid around £40 - £50 on a 4pot head recently....

I have driven the donor engine, and have no reason to think the head has a problem.
