As it stands I haven't touched the engine as far as taking it apart is concerned, so the engine will go back to KAD to have a new gasket and re dyno tested. As you all know KAD are a top company to deal with and there customer service is excellent so a minor problem like this should be easily fixed.
This could of been like this since the engine was in the car, as even with the gasket gone it was making 117bhp, which is a lot more than I was used too.

After a few pints tonight I've come to the conclusion that these things happen, and from now on I'll hope that it won't happen again. It's not like it's a common factor, this is the first one to let go in years. We have spent a lot of money with KAD and we trust what they say as there the experts. So we shall see where it goes from here

You're sending it back to KAD to have a head gasket changed...You must have more money than sense!

You're better off having a go yourself, at least you know how to do it in the future then.

It wont cost anything. The reason we arent doing anything is because if the head comes off it can be sorted. Just curious as to why its gone really. itll be good to investigate. KAD are being more than helpful as usual

Just curious as to how many miles you've covered since getting the engine in the car? And what type of gasket KAD fit to their engines?

Nice, it was your other wheels that convinced me to go for something a little different from the norm when I chose mine, and now you've gone and changed them! lol

I finally got round to fitting my bling today Carl, offset is spot on!
