    Finally given up

    Finally, after all my over heating issues..thought i had it nailed with a new viscous and a recored (bottom two rows only)..the disco has finally done the head ....was going fine went to go the brissy the other day and it decided justcompletelyy out of the blue to spew its guts in the middle of mungrelbough .......it has taken me a few days to settle down ....heads going to cost at conservativev estimatete $2500, sI'mim thinking a SH engine to drop in in its place myself (with the help of my brothers) and then selling off the other, just need to save the dosh ...but have got a quote from BOF in forest glenn for a stripped 3.9 fpr $1650, 3 month warrenty on parts, but thats fine because you cant trust the disco wont have something else go wrong in that time, so no differance really

    if there is anyone out there there that my be able to help with a SH 3.9 for my 98D1 please sign out .....

    cheers
