When these are lined up un tension the pulley tentioner. NOW! Remember how the pulley tentioner sat as this is vital and can be put back incorrectly, take photos if unsure.
The valve steam seals are pretty easy too. You WILL need a valve steam spring clamp at this point (usually around £10 from motor factors) Its straight forward, remove the rocker for each valve. This is done by removing the nut which holds it in place. Each rocker will feel loose at TDC (top dead centre) this is achieved by turning the crank like before when setting timing. When the rocker feels loose by shaking loosen that nut. Clamp the spring then remove the seal and replace. Its been a while since i last did this too so take your time incase i missed a step. DO EACH ONE AT A TIME SO NO CONFUSION IS OCCURED.
Cheers m8, u defo no ur stuff! just ordered the gasket set of ebay im gona give it a go! the gasket has defo gone, had all the water hose`s of 2day and the crunching sound was a layer of rust coloured shite! ive cleaned them all out put back on filled water an all seem ok. I did an oil change removing the over filled oil, started her up an just 10mins later the oil cap was full of white scum again. But hopefully i should have it sorted it seams easy enough altho doin the timming will prob be the hardest bit 4 me dont realy no the pros an cons on TDC, im gona get the head skimmed tho just to be safe... Anyways ill let u no how i get on thanks again
