well the stuff came today and then mrs andy insisted i went to dinner tonight at hers
blokes and their new shiney things hate been pulled apart
so since the gasket kit came with new stem seals it seemed a waste not to put them in so tonight i wound up buying a valve compressor (since the one i borrowed from work was WAY TOO BIG )
all valves were taken out cleaned up dipped in oil and old seals were pulled out with pliers and new ones tapped in using a socket as a drift (a 10mm britool 1/4 drive was a perfect size for the job)
well thats all i planned on getting done.. however ignoring my need for shut eye ive just walked into the house with a bottle of larger to celebrate also "rebuilding" the head (re gasketed the inlet manifold and fitted that, fitted new thermostat, fitted new water pump to the block , replaced cam shaft oil seals , replaced coil carrier and checked the tappet's using feeler gauges all are within tolerance after the rebuild since i mixed the cam buckets up
..
all been well tomorrow the head is going to be bolted back onto the block with the new head gasket, using new strech bolts new timing belt and tensioner. refit injectors, plug in all the wiring, fill and bleed coolant and get it back on the road
