Hi Alec - yes it is an alloy head. That is a fair shout regarding inserts. I have a gut feeling it is a head issue with overheating anyhow so more than likely the head will be coming off at some point. Regarding the fuel that was what I was thinking in that it should be ok,it was on the road four ye...

As I have been out of the fold for a while, just thought I would check that I assume Mk 2 M/C are still unavailable ? Re - establishing the braking system on mine I must admit is my main concern.
