What do you mean when you say you've gone through heads? Blown headgaskets? Burnt valves?

Codence,

Not sure weher yo live but I suppose that there are quite a few scooby websites where they might have a cure for your troubles
This

http://www.extreme-machines.nl/forums/index.php

is a Dutch one, pretty comprehensive but unfortunately in Dutch. Having written that, if you start a thread on your blown gasket under
> Garage
> Motorisch & Tuning
I'm pretty sure that they will point you in the right direction.
