Ok i am finally back from Afghan and i have made a start today, first thing was to strip the engine and inspect the bits, as from pics above it was an oily mess but every thing seems to be ok, it will be getting sent off soon for correct spec check and a damn good cleaning, i have a slight problem as its been stripped and the head looks thin to start with and the valves have ever so slightly been hitting the pistons, maybe its a new head after all but will see how it goes with the head check, will need another skim no doubt or hopefully just a facing then the block decked, pistons machined, bore check, pressure test, lighten and balance it all and new rings and shells then put it all back together, hopefully should be all good???? concerned about valves though!!!!
