Better News on the I5 woe front KV engine, longish

[Iain Atkinson]

yeah you did, but it's a support kinda thing you know.


Been out for a good drive today with no probs, no leaks(touch wood) i know
have a quiet smooth I5 again, i figure on running the head in for 1K miles
just let everything settle down and use no more than 4K revs, maybe i am
being paranoid but i think it makes sense.


Regards


Iain
