I remember my first HG job, about 9 years ago. I did my back in taking the head off as I had to remove it with both manifolds on, and it was HEAVY. I also had shit tools, and it was ****ing freezing!

Lifting a cylinder head off is easy if you're clever enough

Please keep it all coming. I've a fear my exhaust valves are far worse than that.

I like the face off (head off?) with Paddy too. What's in the pink-lidded pot??

[16v_paddy]

Most probably where I put all the bolts from taking the head apart, got loads of the things with spare nuts & bolts that I've accumulated over the years

Hey Wobba, when you comment that the valve seats are not too bad above, I assume that the part of it thats not A1 is the pitting around the valve seat?

Yes there is a little bit but that should not be an issue!

The pink lidded thing in Paddy's pick is his 'naples' valver :p

Bit of a clean before setting it all up for head and cambelt:

Looking good Wobba
