down to 20nm then 180 then 180 could I go anymore
dave
ok update. I took head back off and a mate of mine had it skimmed.
when it came back still 2 slight groves, like pistion linner groves in head above pistons 2 3. but put back together.
runs but when revs build up noise like linners are slapping the head?
dave

8m bolt water comes out, then screw on heater hose. just thinking if it was the gasket or head still would it not be bubbling? why water level rising out of tank?
dave
the head must have gone, coolant keeps over flowing????????????
les where you live?
ok update. back together, running sweet, but but but, after a while water level is rising to top of exp tank? she is not getting hot. temp gauge smack in middle.
coolant fans never come on. been trying to bleed coolant system. no water in oil?
any thoughts
dave
Hi Les do you think i'll have to take sump off, does say oil ladder should be held in with 2 of its own bolts, so should not have moved?
i think it should be ok? your new friend dave
yep 1.8 k petrol, ok it is a git to get the crank timing right after. i'm doing the cams so valves will be fine, only think is the oil ladder, will have to take sump off to make sure everything bolts back up.
dave
Hello all, ok i when to change the head gasket, but never read the book first, so i just took the head off, then with head off turnned the crank to line the bottom timing mark, eveyone is no saying don't trun crank with head bolts out? whats the problem what damage have i done?
2 of the liners seem to have dropped a bit, but was hoping they will pull back up
help please
