Turns out the engine has been overheated at some point which Bent the head, who ever did it new what they had done they tried covering it up with a new head gasket. Started missing real bad took it to a mechanic and ended up getting the engine fully reconditioned cost 3 grand including parts was well worth it she's running so smoothly now

Re: the little red datto.
Great to hear you spent the extra money, and showed the old girl some love!
They aren't making any more of these, so it's up to people like us to keep the marque alive!

Re: the little red datto.
wasn't just the head gasket that was done, the whole engine copped new rings and bearings, was all done by a tool maker, so must have been over heated after it was reconned, head was checked and planned and what not at the same time as rings and bearings, chances are, you may have gotten away with head work only, good to hear its running well now though.
