So the job has been started, removed the cylinder head tonight. Back tomorrow to strip the head/clean & replace all the seals & relap the valves. Strip off the sump & remove the pistons so I can replace the piston rings & big end shells. Also replacing the waterpump & stat.

I'm gonna be busy

So that's the morning sorted, what you got planned for the afternoon....?

#211 by Basil , Sat Apr 04, 2015 7:24 am

As long as you only have to do it once.....

#212 by birdie , Sat Apr 04, 2015 7:28 am

How come you're rebuilding it anyway?

#213 by Alan G , Sat Apr 04, 2015 11:16 am

It was using water, not bad for 141k so decided to do the head gasket before it blew, thought I might as well renew the piston rings while I am doing it as I need to change the sump anyway.

Worth doing bro, as its only costing you parts.
Be ok then for at least another week

I bet a load of pics would help anyone else planning on doing this too

Pram time just around the corner?

#217 by Alan G , Sat Apr 04, 2015 9:17 pm

Cyl head all stripped an cleaned, valves re-ground in, valve stem oil seals renewed, sump off & 2sets of piston rings & big ends done. I will do the other 2 tomorrow then start to rebuild.

Sorry guys no picks as I ain't getting my new phone covered in Shite.

#218 by Lemmy , Sat Apr 04, 2015 9:22 pm

No mate, don't have one. Did try an get one but no joy.

#221 by Lemmy , Sun Apr 05, 2015 8:15 am

Yoiks! I'd be a bit worried about smoky running and compression problems. Are you too far gone with reassembly to wait a few days while you order one?

#222 by ronniecabers , Sun Apr 05, 2015 8:37 am

So Al, you said it was using water, when you took the head off, did you discover why?

#223 by Alan G , Sun Apr 05, 2015 12:06 pm

I did Kieran. The bloody top rad hose was leaking at the engine due to the metal housing being badly pitted.

Lemme. I don't have time to wait .

Wish you would have said Al and I could have posted you mine up.
If you go on the Internet there is a huge debate on wether glaze busting is actually beneficial or not. It's very 50/50.
