Re: 2Ltr CU piston issue

I think you got a broken valve that course that your need to replace pistons barrels rings, heads and valves repaired plus when your doing all this I'd replaced oil pump and oil cooler and you might as well change push rod tubes.

And get loads of tea bags in I'm on my way to help :ok

Do you have a link please can't find it :ok
