    I thought the perkins 4108 had a fairly low temp combustion, much lower than a 1725 petrol - and 193 bar is over 2800 PSI, I cant see the old girl pushing out more than that The Dog is home.... http:www.singleusemedical.co.uk my new business

    i take it thats the same as whats in Tigger, how do you find the engine copes with the larger body - and do you have an overdrive on Tigger? Im asking because the perkins is getting on my nerves now and I am seriously considering swapping it out at some point (however I have been offered one...

    latest update, took the head off today - I think the photos are fairly obvious I think I missed a bit of debris round the base of the stud prior to putting the new head gasket on - allowing a path between the cooling and cylinder 2 (and possibly a bit to cylinder 1) the rusty track is a...
