I am about to freshin up my xud engine
New Parts:
Top end gasket kit/including steel h/g
Stretch Bolts
Crank seals
Valeo Clutch
Timing belt
Rec. Injectors
I have came across an dw block for free, is it worth fitting hdi rods?
I don't think I will strap a big blower onto this xud,
I will be staying on the t2 with gov mod,lda pin mod, around 25psi
Its going into my 205, so its a light shell

If you have the block stick them in. Hdi rods are better. I think they have a beefier top half. But not fail safe. Id put them in though. Will do on mine at some point.
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

For free? Definately. They are bigger around the wrist. You could also balance them whilst changing them over.
Doesnt even own a 306.

They will be safer.
Everything has a limit though.
Nothing is 100% safe
