Yes - they are in the strange situation where higher mileage could be seen as better!
I think the theory is if they manage 100k they'll keep going? :?:

I was workin on the understanding that if it reaches 100k...
Someone must have already had the gaskets replaced with the better quality ones. :)

Even then I wouldn't pay a fortune for it, might have to shell out another grand if it suffers another HGF :(

For some odd reason that conjures up mental images of a totem pole in your garden with KV6 heads on it! :shock:

On 3 different cars. All fine post op one has done 9k now.
It's all down to doing the job properly which takes more time than the dealers ever spent doing the job plus correct assessment pre op as the new improved gasket may not be the best choice or indeed the jobs not worth doing at all.

That write up is probably getting urgent for a lot of KV6 owners Jez!

I have to confess i was sceptical at first about whether you'd get away with doing the HG on the KV6 but having spoken to you i know you've gone into the in's and out's of what causes them to fail in the first place, why they're not always successful when they're replaced and so on.

I'm pleased to eat my words and congratulate you on a job well done! Perhaps there's hope for the K-Series after all? :?: :idea: :?:

Dave

I'm looking forward to the write up.

I was always led to believe the issue with the R17 flavour of KV6 was poor assembly tolerances. Improved on the later engines when they were slightly less "handmade".

Moving briefly back to the 827Si this thread started off about :

" This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."

I think it was more that the workers knew the writing was on the wall following the hostile German takeover and to put it into an acronym TDGAF - i'm sure you'll work out they didn't give a fig! :wink: :lol: :D
