bit to steep for an old prefacelift

especially as a trouble free model of similar spec can be yours for £300+ if you look hard enough!

..probably not the head thats going anyway..

It could be - 1998 3.0l...  ...back corner, passenger side I reckon

It's not common for them to warp

Head changes can be done quickly, but - better to take your time and do a thorough job.

i probably couldn't change a spark plug by myself......lol.....i just wondered if it was a 10hr @ £5k a hour main stealer job that a good mechanic could do in 4 hrs

You won't find anyone who can do a pair of V6 heads in 4 hrs....

I'm doing mine over several days, leisurely, without rush.

May as well do it properly, and do it once...

Skimming is an issue on V6 heads, as being a V, coolant bridge won't line up post skim.


Marks DTM did my V6 in a day, can't remember timings, but must have been started around 9am, finished by 6pm? (Apologies if I have the timings a little out Mr DTM)
