    It's all good stuff Phillip as I'm preparing for a pre-emptive strike at the head gasket.
    It's only a matter of time before the plastic dowel syndrome strikes mine.

    I was cleaning up my gallery yesterday and came across a picture of a steel dowel comprehensively bent which I got from a UK sitedistorted steel dowel.jpg

    This leads me to think that the issue is not the dowels but one of temperature. Too hot and everything expands and the head can shuffle, steel dowels or not.

    I hope so anyway!
    Mine has now done 211KK and I watch that water level like a hawk watches a lamb.
    Regards PhilipA

    the mind boggles how the heads could get so loose and still have enough pressure to bend the dowels...

    Thanks Ian, went with a set of AMK head bolts and Victor Reinz head gasket, seem to be the weapons of choice for the more knowledgable indie repairers out there these days.
