i had his head sent to the machine shop for a skim, nice job done too 8-)
Image

lapped the valves ready to go back in
Image

intake stem seals went in ok
Image

but after double checking...
Image

ive found the exhaust stem seals in the replacement kit are too big compared to the origonals (which 16x were all brown btw) compared to the 8x blue and 8x brown in the new kit. :roll:

after some OEM stem seals came in, they fitted a treat
Image

so put the valve seats back in, along with the valves, valve springs and retainers.
Image
after checking that the tighter end of the valve springs go at the bottom, I also found that the intake and exhaust springs were different heights, so after checking I found the exhaust springs are the slightly taller ones than the intake.

all back and fitted along with the LMA's
Image

just the old intake gasket to remove now, being a stubborn b*tch - even gasket remover has little effect on it :roll:

eventual (SLOW) progress with this.

new headgasket went on, along with refurbed head.
replacement exhaust manifold and downpipe (DC Sports) was welded up as it came with a replacement flexi, then installed with a new lambda sensor and modified o2 sensor for the decat installed.

autotensioner went on then broke, so we had to use my h23 manual tensioner instead. then the main nut hole in the block for holding the tensioner on had rounded the first few threads :evil: so we had to buy a odd sized thread cutter with a tap & die kit. #ballache.

but it worked 8-) Thom put on the cambelt and balance shaft belt then i went to check it one night and the timing was off on both :roll:

so re-did all that last night, corrected the cambelt, balance shaft belt and also spaced out the manual tensioner pulley a bit more as the cambelt was catching.
(mid process)

covers back on. engine mount back on.
(looking much smarter, just before engine mount went back on)
