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.


Good Luck for saturday allenm  :) not that you'll need it.

Issunaz - tea and butties still have you name on them, same for Theboy.

RobinHood,  I'm more than happy to feed the cameraman  ;)

All this said,  Mark DTM and Matchless may have a view on cooks and soup!

I just can't wait to get back to driving a real-wheel drive V6!

Extra hands will be of use to clean bits as we remove them.......

i.e. Plenum, breathers, aux belt tensioner re-furb, alternator check etc.

Yep, Soup = Broth.  I am sure there was a damn good reason why I decided to
substitute the word - just havn't got a clue what it might be   :-/

Well, I am hoping that all is going to plan and the Saturday before Santa-pod is still on the cards.  The update from Matchless and Mark DTM sound like they have got it all well under control  :)

So time for me to start planning what I need to do in prep....

..  Strip down and remove cambelt.    (theboy, can I scrounge the locking kit again?)
..  Get some carb cleaner for the breathers
..  Stock up on tea, bacon, beer, and some proper grub.

What else needs adding to the list guys?  anything else I need to get?

Cheers
Merv

Can you get access to a Gazebo in case it rains..... :)

Matchless is assembling the heads either tonight or tomorrow now that they are all cleaned and the valves lapped in.

I flattened the exhaust manifolds and replaced a broken stud last night so they are ready to fit.

The gasket set has arrived (needed for the stem seals) and an order will go in for the extra few bits required (anti freeze, oil, filter, couple of seals etc...) with my friendly local dealer(re, 'the old boy')

Were on track to go I think....

Yup, I'll chuck the kit in car, not sure when I can get up to you (unless you can get down to Bletchley?)

Sounds good!  I will sort out either a Gazebo or lash up a tarp between my house and next doors!

I have a 3m x 3m material type gazebo. Being material, not entirely sure how waterproof it is if it gets really wet...
