[cd 2.2]

Be thankful, I am twelve valves into 24V.....and have ran out of ginding paste grrrrr....

Shame your so far away I have some spare, hope I never need to use it again but this stuff has served a fiesta 1.1 bonus head rebuild, 2 BL wedge princess head rebuilds and now my Mig full head rebuild!
Funny how you think you are going to only use these things once when you buy them

I needed some more so 'invested' in some.

The biggest challenge with these heads is that they are some of the filthiest I have seen and are taking an age to celan up well, some four stages of cleaning!

One head fully re-built, the other at stage two cleaning, should start refitting at the weekend I hope!

Are they big heads for big engines?

I cleaned the mould out of it 
I really must find where the water leak is coming from
And actually fitted one side of the rear courtesy lights, a nice job to do

Is that the black one

[joshwyatt]

Indeed it is the black one! I haven't used it for some time, so need to give it some TLC. The clutch is now feeling pretty dead, and it'll need a new windscreen...hopefully that'll fix the water leak though.

I broke mine  , Intercooler pipe came off at like 60, I tried using tape to fix it, it was all fine until just before my town it started smoking bad turned off and wouldn't start again. I had to push it at least 4 miles  Mechanic at my dads work is looking at it, we will see what he has to say...
And anyway I wanted to swap for a v6 manual, so yeah if you happen to want to swap for my 2.2 dti, (when its fixed of course) feel free to pm me, hopefully somewhere in Scotland

No a set for a Y26SE

Going to move it tomorrow to a different part of the drive to stop the tyres going egg shaped

Spent 2 hours queueing to get over the bridge 

[jasovanooo]

built up a 2.3 engine to replace the 2.0 in the 9-3 for better spool and more torque also got the 2.0 disconnected from looms/pipes just need to drop the gearbox out the bottom an engine out the top tomorrow/sunday

also need to get more discs for the grinder to assist in butchering anything in the way of the new intercooler

[cd 2.2]

Got the Mig started a couple of hours ago after the head gasket change but all did not go so well ... random surging and not revving over 4k 
such is life ... just another problem to fix before she can be a pampered pet

put it on bricks,

[Bikerdon]

Got under the motor to do the oil filter change today, and guess what!  yep the canister top is solid, grossly overtightened by the last garage I guess. My two way torque wrench was breaking at nearly 80nm and the whole housing was just beginning to turn so leaving it for today. On a plus note while underneath, I spotted that 3 of the 4 cat to silencer studs have been replaced with stainless ones fairly recently, so at least I'll only have the one to sort out when I replace the exhaust.
