OK so I've spoken to Roland.

The damage is just a finger sized hole in one of the valves. Piston and bores are OK. Phew!

So what am I doing? Well Roland gave me a few options but I have settled on a JCW210 head to replace the standard head. I was actually surprised it was standard as I always thought the Hartge conversion had a modified head. This gives me a bit of an upgrade for not too much outlay. I also have the option of JCW injectors.

Whilst there it was discovered that the Redstuff pads have worn very quickly and the discs need changing too so a set of GTT spiroslots are going on. It will be interesting to compare the standard pads and discs to these.

After this is done the mapping will be checked.

It was acceptable in the 80's
