Your first cylinder head replacement is always your slowest, it gets easier and faster :y
Some of us owned K series ::)

That said, I'd still be scared doing a GM V6 HG.  Hence the DTM chappie did my last one ;D

To be fair,its not that bad,just tight on space when removing and installing certain things,k series is easier tho,just 1 head due to lack of the other 2 pistons lol.i would do another v6 again,no webby i dont mean yours if it goes bang,fingers crossed it will be all ok this time :y

Well. it runs beautifully!!!! martin, perhaps you'd post that video for me? :) ps, thanks so much for all your time and effort. I get some dollar next week so expect me at your door with a thank you present or two ;)

the lifters are quiet as anything!!!!

the exhaust pipe to back box has a blow so need new pipe and I need to get a battery hold down as I lost my plate bit. (can anyone recommend an easy battery hold down just to get through a mot?)

check enine lights on with codes for crank, cam and knock sensor. however im thinking they're old codes from the previous explosion. so battery disconnected for a couple of hours to reset those.

very happy. shes gorgeous to drive!!!!

Excellent news mate. Well done. :y
When I took mine for MOT acouple of weeks ago the battery retaining plate was missing altogether ! No idea why tbh. MOT man got a large washer and bent it (sort of z shaped) in the vice,then bolted it in place and it did the job.
If your stuck I will take a pic of it for you and PM it. :y

If the engine light is on you have a current fault code that needs sorting

Oh yes, the battery off trick does not work on these more modern ECUs

Interesting: we read the codes via the pedal trick. They suggest knock sensor, cam sensor and crank sensor. Surely these are the stored codes from the timing belt snapping.... cam ad crank cos obviously it didn't have a reference point when the pistons decided to meet the valves... and the knock sensor as at the same time that got destroyed somehow????

TB, do you have your TechII still? if so any chance of me popping over for an ECU interrogation?  :)

Ps, Martin, thanks for posting the vid. Any chance you could put up the vid of the codes?

From memory I make it code 18 (knock sensor), code 94 (Hall Sensor.... presumably crank sensor) and I cant remember the other one  :-\
