I've mentioned your legendary huge collection of useful T25 related photographs before, and now we have access to the entire collection
A picture is worth a thousand words they say, one could spend hours easily just learning stuff by looking at that pictorial archive

Thanks, I have 000s, I keep meaning to find some time to upload some more.
If somebody's bucket is open it's easy to get to their bucket from any photo they post

Also the camshaft is different. The DF has different valve timing, so just changing heads and externals won't necessarily make it go like a DG, I'm afraid.

If your dodgy dg has a late B suffix case, it's perfectly possible to convert it to 2.1 (I could put a kit together for you if needed) and run it on a Pierburg carb. But if budget is tight, probably best to run the df as Itchy said, whilst you just repair the DGs, perhaps making one good one from the two.

Tempted myself
What sort of prices are we looking at for a kit, I assume dj crank, MV piston set and cam?
cheers
