Did you buy new heads for it? When the ceramic liners fail are there any rebuild options?
Hi
from my research, it seems the heads are not really rebuildable when the ceramic goes. I was able to source some fairly priced heads in good condition. The ceramic in those is not perfect, but I would say 95% perfect.
Other shops I spoke to said that I 'could' run the heads with the failed ceramics but it would mean uneven gas flow and of course, would be much less than ideal.

2 of the heads were unusable.. 3 were perhaps OK to reuse and 1 was near perfect.
