Hi Guys
There appears to be a very weak spot in the 7M headgasket.
The bridge between the two water ducts on the inlet side seems to me to be a very common place for them to blow.
Have any guys also found this to be the case.

give it a search, youll find more than anyone can handle on here about Blown Head Gaskets (BHGs)

just from browsing (haven't blown mine yet) iirc its the sixth cylinder to blow (least efficient cooling?)

Hi Clip

Sorry Im very new to posting in the forums ,hope im doing it right.
I have read quite a few post on the BHG problem ,but havent seen anyone mention the fact that the gasket has two ducts on the inlet side but appears to only need one for each pot.There is no supporting cap in the head for the bridge between the duct either.

Thank You.
