lol, you're a top bloke too, for someone who lives on the island state of Australia!!

Pre-EB on LPG to blow head gaskets? I was under the impression that heads are the same from EA-AUIII, save for valve sizing nuances, and valvetrain applications. Let him in on the secret A7M, how many taxi gaskets have you done?
sanded the head??? there should be a Darwin award for backyard mechanics, or at the very least, somewhere where you can voluntarily hand your car keys in or something.
I personally feel that if someone, who had their head torqued on right, bought an EAI factory, had all of the little things fixed like they shouldve, would have a good car today.
In A Perfect World, Ford would have waited another 12 months before releasing the EA. In Lieu, they should have made an XFII, with some fruit in there to tempt people away from the VN (which is the bigger heap??). In that time, I reckon the EA wouldve been made a far superior vehicle, one that wouldnt suffer from lifter issues, power steering pump failures (and hence altinator fires), crappy 3 speed auto, and various other issues which scream Rush Job.
Still, one of the EAs thats been around the block heaps, and left out on the pasture would make for a very durable bush bomb
