That I do, but more importantly the previous owner was my step-kids grandfather so they won't let me scrap it!
Anyhoo... work continues.
We got the new heads ported and got one fitted but as we went to fit the second I found this...
That's one of several quite large pits on the mating face of the head. It's the head that blew it's gasket on the old engine so I was'nt happy with using this one.
So... back out with the porting kit and another head was modified to suit. of course that meant stripping out 12 bent valves and fitting nice straight ones. While we were there the manifolds got a little attention too.
Not too much, just a little flow improvement.
While I was inspecting the other parts I found some damage caused by the roller that broke loose.
That's the inside of the cambelt housing back plate, so I dug a spare out of the parts bin.
I also found a set of gaskets for the plastic cam covers so they will be refitted.
Due to delays we only got as far as fitting the second head and even then it's still not torqued down properly, but at least progress has been made.
I'll try to get some time in on the car during the week but a sick missus is limiting my free time at the moment.
Watch this space....
