A friend of mine had head gasket issues and in the end it turned out to be a cracked block.

What about running your first 1000 miles N/A next time to rule out basic problems ?

 Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

isn't the key to running a higher CR to ensure the intake temp is kept low? Reading posts on here anywhere.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

well I think I have now sussed it. While fannying around with everything I had knocked of the signal to the MS, so this has solved the immediate det on high boost now that its not running a fixed 35 deg (durrr).

I'm happy that the fuelling is better now I have changed the carb. I will have damaged the gasket that is on I'm sure with all the fannying around. So when this one goes I'll replace it and see how we get on.
