I went down a different route when I rebuilt my engine and all good so far. I have done over 6k miles since the rebuild. So I am happy.
I am testing the alternative with 1.5 bar boost which is what lifted the heads the first time round on the standard factory stretch bolts.
So 10 k miles is what I am aiming for with regular abuse and I will call the option fit for purpose.
It does not matter what anyone else says when they find out what I have done. Lol
