The cam shells need to go back in precisely the order they come out.

[Webby the Bear]

Are they the things that i initially circled (in green)?

You circled the bolts that hold them in place. They are, in effect, the clamps that hold the cams down

8 head bolts. in each head. 

[Webby the Bear]

cheers RB. Looking forward to it 

so the bolts. if this was my own car i'd obviously replace as per twiglet's post. but as ralf is a practise car can i get away with using the old ones?

are you fitting new head gaskets?
if you are, then new is a must, if not then its a risk they will snap on tightening. but then the gaskets will be fubbered anyway.

Yeah, compression will be shot, and it will piss oil and water everywhere.

If you want engine to run for now, do HG last.

Quite expensive to actuall replace HG fully - HGs, bolts, exhaust gaskets, coolant bridge washers, transfer pipe o-rings etc
