Where is Pete?  He's been busy with other things.

Issunaz, Mark is trying to contact you today. I will be visiting Barton under Needwood, on the A38 just west of Burton on Trent on Saturday and Sunday so perhaps we could meet? Im a bit tied down though because it is the mother in laws 80th birthday so I wont be allowed to dissapear or get dirty!!

Allenm, I spoke to Marks_DTM earlier today, and nearer time (may be 'weeks' due to time taken to refurb heads and holidays and other commitments) if you can strip down and remove cambelt etc (obviously lock it first! - you still have my camlock kit).  If you need me to give you a hand with this, let me know...

Yep, no problem,  as soon as I know a rough time, I will get the car stripped down and will lock and take the belt.

Now I have done it, and armed with the DVD, I am happy to tackle this on my own, though thanks for the offer  :)

Another thought occurs, the rocker gaskets need doing (on the drivers side, the passenger side plug wells were bone dry).  Is this something that will happen as a consequence of the heads coming off?  or something that I should get sorted first.

Damn, I told Mark it was your passenger gaskets that were knackered  :-[

Not sure if Mark/Pete's plans were to change both heads or not...  ...if not, change the drivers side rocker gasket before. Its the easier side to do, but make sure you use black sealant (Crownhill's will insist its the green stuff).

A pair of heads were delivered to the care of Pete this morning, I think the plan is to do both of them to ensure the "Law of Sod" doesn't rear it's ugly head if they only do the knackered side  ;)

Pair of heads in my garage now and exhaust studs soaking in penetrating oil. There is one broken stud with what looks like a drill or easy-out snapped off in it so I have a bit of extra work to do.
I will start on cleaning and stripping them later in the week.
Allenm (merv?) I will be in touch later about starting the strip-down and make arrangements to come to MK but it will be after mark returns from his banger rally.

Pete,

Thats great thanks,  Let me know if you need me to do/get anything.  

Is there a list of things I need to get while I have a TC card?

I was thinking Oil, filter, Plugs.  Anything else?  

Many Thanks

Merv

Just though I'd bump this back to the top,  I'm going for the record of longest post, since I ain't ever going to catch Tunnie up on the post count front  ;D

The current plan is for the heads to be changed the Saturday before the Santa Pod meet.
