No probs. I have been unlucky twice but maybe not all mechanics are the same.
Got the cylinder head back from Tipler Engineering and it looks beautiful. New valves and guides plus all cleaned up...£80 labour.
I nearly had to take off the timing chain cover again last night when the chain got stuck and would not turn with the crankshaft but with the help of a power/breaker bar and a mate we managed to dislodged it...phew! Now it is just sweet...using a strong long wire to keep it fairly tight.
I want to put the head with the inlet exhaust manifold on tonight, anyone had bad experience doing it this way?
