Hello guys, been to Spa on sunday where I noticed the right exhaust was very hot, You can see it on the fotos from Danny B nr 21. Thinking about a few observations: very high fuel consumption +25 liters on 100km, poor accelleration, smell of fuel and I have to ad water regulary. now my idea is headgasket and I am hoping its not that, valves out of wack or carb setting. water and oil are not mixed, no white smoke engine ,oil and water temp and pressure ok, car starts fine. Anybody an idea? Greetings Urbain. He that gives me an easy solution gets ,when in Belgium: cigar ,coffee,whisky, cognac and beer at my home
