Sorted the O rings for the cooling system fittings today whilst I had a bit of down time at work with a few spares. The plan is to sort through all our old imperial cap screw stocks and see if we have enough to make up a new set of head bolts.

watch the valley gaskets mate. i think mine crapped out on the boostadore and its more of a steam pump at the moment lol. when my back is right i'll pull the LIM and redo the fucking things.
dont mind vlad and cracking ecotecs if its not a buick its no good

Cheers mate.

TBH, I haven't made a lot of progress. I went back on shift, got sick for a few days and been playing plumber this weekend. Hopefully this week I'll have time to get it back together before my next shift later this week.

i'm hearing ya mate. fucking sciatica so bending over at the moment is unobtanium. getting there.

Bit of an update (or lack there off).

The exhaust valves in the other head didn't clean up as well as the first so I bit the bullet and ordered a new set of valves. Hopefully I'll have those in the next few days.

Well fuck me, thanks Covid.

My new exhaust valves arrived yesterday, only a month wait

Took the heads down to a local machinist to have the exhaust valve seats re-cut. Hopefully have those back by next week ready to assemble and bolt on.

I went to but a 1/4 inch NPT 3/8 tail from an engineering supply company only to be told it would be an 8 week wait. Yep covid.

Yep, very slow atm. And everything is so expensive, covid tax as I call it.

Definitely, stuff is either very hard to get or very expensive.

We can't get anything no local suppliers with stock getting pistons and such from overseas even decent gasket goo is hard to come by lol
