Wrong Sweep mate... I dunno who was running that one.

I'd be first removing the head and checking everything else. Cracked pistons etc etc. Last thing you'd want is to put on a new head then later on it drops the pin in a cylinder or two.
FYI, when my pump failed on the ZD I was going to just put a new pump on. Then I go the green light for the conversion. My old motor was stripped down at the workshop and they found number 4 piston was cracked. Even though the inside of the motor was spotless due to my strict oil change regime and the motor still when really good... So If I have spent the 4k, or what ever it was, on a new pump, it was only a matter of time for that motor. And it would have been 4k just shot down the dunny.

Just saying.

Without going back through all these posts, a question.
Why did you put that copper stuff in the cooling system, did you have an issue with the head before?
I don't understand all the to-ing and fro-ing when there probably was a pre-existing problem that you knew about.
Just seems like a good starting point of the diagnosis that was ignored, or have I got the wrong end of the pineapple?
Nearly a month and 400 plus posts, must be doing your head in. Good luck with the power ball, I'm told you must buy tickets first... bugger.

4k for fuel system replacement then a 4-6k rebuild would have still seen you ahead of what it cost for the conversion though.

Yes it was all spoken about back then too.

Yes but is not a TD42 though isn't it. Lol.
I wasn't suggest for John to do a conversion, just advising him to check everything if/ when he does do the repair.

My guess is he was hoping for a quick CHEAP fix. After all who wants to spend coin on an engine rebuild.

I think I might go fishing now….

Fishing?
Stay here mate, you get more bites and the bait is cheaper

512, 512 512 512
