thats not a common thing on the KV6 though is it? The head gaskets are more prone to go on the VVC engines.....?

Think it's the first KV6 that i've heard of it happening to in the time i've been on this site...

Sunny Essex eh?

I your welcome to come over mine or vice versa and you can have a nose around it dude, or theres a brands hatch meet at the end of September head to that to see what they are like on the track

That's the 2nd I've heard of...it's cheaper for a new engine if it goes on them...very very very rare though. Shouldn't happen if looked after properly.
