well my heads now fully fuctioning again..well as close as it ever gets:D

 

still really not happy with the paint work..really could do with someone who knows about paint to come have a look and tell me where i'm going wrong..

 

anyway took a little break from the paint to start the engine rebuild...new thrust washers/clutch plate and a few other bits and we're starting to get somewhere..

main problem engine wise to sort out is the cylinder head..had 2 studs snap off on the strip down..and today the stud extracter snapped off in one of them>_<
