Nick Johns Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) The injection hot spot plate has become loose in the head, a fairly commom problem, it might have damaged the block face where its been moving about Edited March 2, 2019 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxy Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Being a 'indirect' motor - the ignition bang starts in the pre-combustion chamber and blasts through the hole in the plate & into the cylinder , so a high stress area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
