Made me think that although there was no reciept I did beleive the guy who sold me my ZS that the HG had been done with the uprated MLS. It all looks fairly new but is there a way to tell for sure? Isn't there a piece that sticks out on the new one or something?

If so any chance someone could post a pic so I can put my mind at ease?

Also, when a HG has been done do they use a sealant afterwards?

Cheers peeps!
1.8 Freelanders pop hgs for fun!! I've done all 4 of mine myself easy enough. The last time I got uprated parts for it off Ebay for under £100 for everything and it's still working as it should there are lots of horror stories but it's just an engine and pretty easy sorted!!
Most important thing is keep an eye on water levels and investigate any drop as the engine doesn't need to loose much before the cooling system air locks and the hg fails !!
