Dont use WD40 to clean sensors, use carb cleaner. WD40 will leave a coating behind when it evaporates. Carb cleaner wont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsford Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 im no expert at all and dont have a clue but,your unlucky having to get a new head already with low milage did someone forget to top up the oil for a few months ? ,i think a match and big push on the car out the street should do the job sounds like your spending more than its worth,insurance comes in handy in these times of need not that im suggesting you take these measures lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonshepherd Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Take it back to the garage that fitted the cylinder head and say it hasn't run right since they fitted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
