Post by mr and mrs pips » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:05 pm

Hello

After overheating last week and getting the head pressure tested and shimmed the poor bongo spat all its coolent out andf overheated

Has anyone else had a Cracked Cylinder in the engine & a cracked Head ?

did your story turn out well ?

I have been advised the engine can be taken out and tested / Fixed and a new head sourced from Spain.
