so , today i got the timimg case on, glued gaskit on one side and grease on the engine side incase it ever has to come off ,
then cleaned the head off with thinners ready for the gaskit,
i went and picked up a composit fiber gaskit with the stainless rings on
fitted it dry , then torqed the head up in two stages from hand tight, one at 30 then the second run at 65,
oh yeah dropped the push rods in before hand ( edit in somewhere above )
then set the tappits up,
with valve no 8 fully open i set valve no1 to 0.010 with the feelers then locked the adjuster, then followed on in this order
valve 8- adjust no1
valve 6-3
valve 4-5
valve 7-2
valve 1-8
valve 3-6
valve 5-5
valve 2-7
easy as that !
dropped a few more bits on,
looking more like it now, just need to find a better oil filter and sort me fuel pump out !
