cheers bud, thanks, i dont think i can stretch to that at the moment, I can maybe get the ARP head bolts and the coopers gasket, that will be £500, whilst im at it il do the timing belt and tensioners, and replace the exhaust gasket.

the engines only done 35000 miles and seems sweet as a nut top and bottom end, I cant understand why its gone like this !

it should be already well balanced its its built by rondell stage 3
