No.4 is oily and the rest look like they've been burning oil, I knew I was using more oil than usual and it looks like a failing head gasket is the cause.
Not great, but an excuse to get your rods done.
Might as well Rob You could then have piece of mind that the torque isn't going to make a standard rod try and make a break for freedom..
Do the shells at the same time obviously.
you'd be a fool not too...Due the price off ina Rods at the moment there well cheap..Hmmm ... perhaps yes!
IE rods are alot cheaper than INA rods - £232 vs £300.
