They were all silvertop quikkys lol, just like my 1.4 306s (which also ALL popped headgaskets at some point in thier life), except my ph2 blacktop, that had the HG done under warranty at 5k miles lol.

You always get exceptions, and I dont doubt at all that yours was bulletproof........but most of them don't seem to be!

Wrong again. Not all quicksilvers were silver tops. Some of the later black tops actually had silver tops which throws a spanner in the works with this whole black/silver top identification.
In my whole time of being on the 106 forums, I rarely heard of HG issues.robably as often as you do on here.
Sure this isn't something you've dreamt up because you've automatically decided you don't like it?
