So I've taken my heads off and they look the same.
About 15hours to take heads off....off to be refurbished.
Interestingly only the rear 4 cylinders have burnt valves...were yours the same?
Will post pics when the heads are back. |

That was exactly the same on mine. Passenger side bank was ruined and not the driver side

That's weird....mine is different....the rear 4 cylinders have burned valves (2 nearest back of car) on each bank. The front 4 are fine! |

How many miles has your engine done and is it LPG with a lube system?
cheers

to follow up on this, the heads were £250 each + vat (£500 for both) fully refurbished and look amazing, skimmed, cleaned, painted? etc, done by:-
Thanet Engine Centre - CT11 0QZ
Took them about 2-3weeks, but worth the wait. |
