quick update on Will's lude - he has suspected x2 dropped valves as two of the valves during clearances wont open any more to get the VC tool in
so im building him a new head with fresh stem seals, and will clean up the valves then grind them back in with paste, give it a lick of paint then fit her with a new head, inlet and mani gasket plus all new belts.
so far;
purchased the Euroexport VS removal tool, really great piece of kit
all valve springs, retainers now removed - ordered a stem seal removal tool to get the old ones off as they don't seem to budge with pliers lol
