How soon do you need it bud? I have just the box at home but will be doing the same when I get back, i think it will probably even fit the block in it aswell.

So what are you actually using to clean the head chemical wise?

Going to start stripping it down soon, but I ordered that one from ebay over the page anyway. Thanks though.

And I've still got a good 2.5l of Gunk degreaser which will make a start. I'll see how well it dilutes and then I can just leave it in there for a while.

What about those giant plastic toy boxes you get in Asda? They are only a tenner or something and they should take a head.

Yeah, I've got a few of those but they're not the strongest plastic. Can be quite brittle, so I wanted something quite robust.

My tub turned up! :D It's the perfect size...

I definitely wouldn't be happy with a Tesco's tub (or the like). I was turning the the head over in it, sloshing it about and carried it around with no worries at all. There's no way the Tesco's tub would stand up to the same abuse, the plastic's just too thin and brittle.

My tub's 100% recycled to! ;-)

That wide enough for a bare block too? Looks tight.

No, you wouldn't get a block in there. I'll get a seperate one for that when I've got the space ;-) :lol:
