Anyone got a CT 1600 Aircooled cyl head in their shed

Post by HarryMann »

To help Buffy, a lass in Bristol who's stumbled upon a big problem soon after buying her first t25 camper

(or, knows if a burnt and enlarged spark plug hole can be welded up and re-machined succesfully, if so, where :) )

Goto last page of thread to get the drift

Hello!!

Yesssss!!!!,

Iv'e got myself a pile of CT bits, and theyr'e MINE all Mine!!!! HaHaHaHa. :twisted:

I'll be able to line up all the cylinder heads and GLOAT HaHaHaHa!! :twisted:


No seriously, the whole idea of this is to have a reserve stock.

Buffy, When I get back to France I will sort and inspect all the bits and let you know what we've got.

The problem with cylinder heads is that very small cracks can appear, for example between the valve seats. These are often difficult to detect. Typical diagnosis on vehicle is an occasional spitting misfire at tickover.

Before you start flinging money about getting beetle heads fitted, let's look at what Father Xmas has brought!!

I will be in touch in about a week.

Commercial postage from France is very reasonably priced.

Cordialement, :ok
