Cam shaft looks in good condition.

There seems to be some sort of coolant leak around the inlet; what should I look for to see if I should replace the whole flange?

Garage suggested replacing what I think they said was the chain tensioner; but from what ive looked up the thing they showed me was just the tensioner bolt, so I'm a little confused on that.

Any other suggestions?

I think you'll find there is a core plug somewhere under the manifold, but then I could be wrong.
See this thread esp, second post.

Did you sort out that problem with the stud and the stud hole with the snapped off doodaa in the hole?

The head is over with a guy who specialises in refurbishing heads. Assures me he can get it all spick & span for me again.

Sorry mate, what a plo4ker! I'll have to do the search again, then I'll shove it in once I find it.

Based on the image there the garage seem to want to replace part 11 - some crusty coolant around that area.

The chain tensioner does look a bit like a bolt.

The garage probably meant the timing chain guides which are nylon and prone to breaking. I would also check the screw in core plug behind the exhaust manifold if you've took the manifold off as this is also prone to leaking. It is actually a screw in plug with sealant on it that dries up then leaks. The default repair appear to be to put a new plug in which comes pre-coated in the sealant but I just unscrewed mine and wrapped PTFE round the threads and screwed it back in.

That makes more sense. Is it likely to need changing?

I don't know but hopefully someone here might know a bit more about it.
