well after having my car off the road for the alst 6 weeks basically cas im too lazy and didnt ahve the money to fix the headgasket.
well neway i sold a few bits i had knocking around and bought a new head with kent cam etc, longer zvh bolts, and the gasket set. got it all together finally today and she fired up
soo pleased to have it running again altho ive got a problem...
the car doesnt like starting or idling, it was never very good at starting neway and now it idles pretty poorley! im thinking of taking it up to norris for a set up and once over soon but im not getting paid ofr a couple weeks so anything to look for in the mean time?

check for an air leak as thats what made mine idle poorly
and also my rocker cover gasket was shot and that didnt help either
i found the leak and sorted it and a new gasket later and it idles lovely
