    I’ve got my hand on a spare 205 XS cylinder head and I’m looking at modifying for my 205. The two roads I am looking to go down are eather 1. Keep it fairly standard but get it gas flowed, inlet matched and just generally refurb it maybe also get some sinus valves for it or skinny down the ones I have. 2. Same as above but... Go all out and as a bit of a project over the winter fit the valves out of a TU5. Now i I was wondering if anyone has tried this? Or if it’s a stupid idea, waste of time, not possible etc.... Ive mocked up what the bigger valves look like in the picture below. My concerns are valve to cylinder bore clearance and “shrouding” around the inlet. what do you guys think? Cheers

    I've searched Service Box to see if there is a gasket for a TU3S oil sump. Nothing listed so is it just RTV sealant that's used or am I missing something?

    Hi guys, I've got a strange issue with my 1989 205 XS, the car tends to run really well and is still quite quick however the car will usually stall if I'm slowing for traffic lights. The carb reeks of fuel after I turn the car off and often 3 or 4 drips of fuel will drop from the carb itself after shut down. The strange thing is that if I use the accelerator pedal to hold the car at around 1000rpm for a couple of seconds it'll then hold a near perfect idle! I've tried looking for vacuum leaks with no sucess, I've replaced the dizzy cap, rotor arm, leads and plugs. I do suspect that the car is running rich, it smells that way and is not too clever on fuel at the moment. I was thinking about getting the car on a CO machine this weekend and dropping the oil out whilst I'm at it. Anything else you think I should try? Cheers
