How timely..... the head gasket just went on my V10 yesterday.

Virtually unheard of, and after sorting everything else....

Runs sweet as a nut. So sweet, I thought it had stalled the other day it was so smooth and quiet. Pah.

If only, you’d move on from D2’s, I reckon we could keep you even busier...

Indeed

I've just had open wallet surgery to do some work on mine and it was quite scary seeing it all stripped down but I feel better knowing that lots of gaskets/seals, filters and common issues have been sorted.

Don't worry eventually there won't be parts left for the D2 and MJ will grow to love the D3, well we can hope so anyway.

The only time I will be working on D3 stuff is either stuffing a V10 in to a D2, or transplanting everything from a D3 in to a D2 shell so I can have a D2 with ACC Both of which I'd like a crack at tbh, but also both a loooong way off!

Check out this open source project... early project with only Honda and Toyota so far. Cool none the less. There's a bounty payment for a port to the B9 A4.
