You'll be fine. Onc e you've got all the rubbish outj of the way, easy, just go slow, and make sure when you put the cam covers back on you don't move/knock out of place the gaskets. Have a good evening, and a drink when you're finished!  8)

...After putting some old rag in the inlets!!! I once dropped a nut in there (onto a piece of rag I had just put in moments before) Trust me, stuffing rag in the dividers is the best thing you'll ever do in your life!

Looking good, though, keep up the good work  :)

I believe it's the same price as yours - without trade card discount. The gaskets - for both banks- were 75eur with discount. It's 54eur per bank otherwise

All back together now. How long do I have to wait before I start the engine?

Um... didn't know there was a time? It was years ago since I did mine, but don't recall waiting. Ah, unless you're thinking of letting the sealant go off, so maybe 12 hours?

Can't remember doing it myself, but I must have done. She was SORN at the time, so there'd have been no rush to get her back assembled and running. Leave it overnight, for sure, then  :)
