can anyone tell me what i need for a head re-build?

mine's just started sounding funny, like cam rattle??

a list of part's would be great so i can get price's off burton power site

 

it all depends on the condition of the head once you strip it down realy you mite need 16 new valves but the agan you mite not!

 

i want to renew everything really, that way i know it's done sort of thing...

 

If it's just rattling try a set of cams and a set of tappets - cams are about £150 each for any BD 8,10, 12, 14 AND ON.... and Matt lewis will do a set of OE followers for £80

Check all the cam carrier studs are still tight in the head as i have just had to helicoil 2

If you go for a rebuilt head your looking at £30 each for a valve and £7 each for a guide going by burton prices - then a head gasket set is going to cost between £120 - £250

So roughtly costing £1110 if you go for the complete thing

 

If the head has any amount of miles, it will have shagged guides, as well as a few valves too.
Just as example mine needed 16 new guides, and 8 new exhaust valves, not bent or leaking, but thinner edges than I would accept, so binned them.
All in with complete overhaul plus 8 VAUXHALL exhaust valves machined to fit it came out at about £500.
Added a group a gasket, few cometic gaskets from Matt L(01543 484488) all was well.
Cossies suffer terribly from guide wear.
I would be tempted to clean out the tappets first, as they are easily cleaned, often just gunge/crap stopping the ball on the seat holding pressure.
