Re: The Phoenix is not Dead ?

If I were you guys, I think I'd look at the ORIGINAL FACTORY head gasket and match the holes to it...we all know how long the 1.0 runs with the original parts...I think I'd do that. (& I probably will...XFI rebuild is coming up this spring)...one other thing...the older 1.0's were made to use 10W30, where most of us are using 5W or 0W....the newer oil may make it back down through the smaller holes, where the 10W30 may have pooled when cold....just a theory....
