i will have a few more hours on it later , i hear what your sayin bout helicoils and they wer done after skimm n test . it the same as it was before really so im wondering if the problem is something other than head ,ive not much experience with engines .
i think ther mite have been an ongoin problem before i had it , i found reciepts in car , 700mile before i had it , john craddocks remove and test head and service over 800 quid . now, ive replaced stat and found that old 1 had been bent so it couldnt shut , just makes me think engine was on its way out anyway , it hadnt been serviced as per receipts , was leaking all over - core plugs etc i replaced those and sorted other stuff , but its always lost water and heaters crap .
