Re: [DML] Head assemblies

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Mike, can you not just get the heads planed flat? This is a very 
standard job over here and the Diesel Centre just sent #2727's heads off 
to be machined as they would with any engine where the head gasket(s) 
had gone. So the moral is, even if the heads are apparently good, they 
should have a couple of microns skimmed off anyway when changing the 
gaskets.

The coolant leak is the effect, not the cause BTW - the engine has 
probably overheated at some point. There are pics of #2727's engine 
rebuild here
