I think the theory is if they manage 100k they'll keep going?mjc9967 wrote:Yes - they are in the strange situation where higher mileage could be seen as better!deano wrote:I wouldn't but another KV6
Not unless it was really cheap and had 100k on the clock.

Re: Timewarp 827 on Fleabay - G404 GOH
I was workin on the understanding that if it reaches 100k...
Someone must have already had the gaskets replaced with the better quality ones.
Even then I wouldn't pay a fortune for it, might have to shell out another grand if it suffers another HGF

It's all down to doing the job properly which takes more time than the dealers ever spent doing the job plus correct assessment pre op as the new improved gasket may not be the best choice or indeed the jobs not worth doing at all.

I have to confess i was sceptical at first about whether you'd get away with doing the HG on the KV6 but having spoken to you i know you've gone into the in's and out's of what causes them to fail in the first place, why they're not always successful when they're replaced and so on.
I'm pleased to eat my words and congratulate you on a job well done! Perhaps there's hope for the K-Series after all?

Re: Timewarp 827 on Fleabay - G404 GOH
I'm looking forward to the write up.
I was always led to believe the issue with the R17 flavour of KV6 was poor assembly tolerances. Improved on the later engines when they were slightly less "handmade".

Re: Timewarp 827 on Fleabay - G404 GOH
Moving briefly back to the 827Si this thread started off about :
" This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."
" This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."
I think it was more that the workers knew the writing was on the wall following the hostile German takeover and to put it into an acronym TDGAF - i'm sure you'll work out they didn't give a fig!traineefarmer wrote:I'm looking forward to the write up.
