theres 5 months to go so im sure youll get it done by then

[cameron]

Sooner the better matey

Not fancy having a go at doing the head gasket with me ?

[t5 pete]

yeah can do we will have to make a tool to lock the cams in or if some one has one to lend

[cameron]

How hard do you think it would be, cause id want to do the cambelt at the same time

[Jamest5r]

Not that hard mate its just nuts and bolts at the end of the day, the only thing you cant do is skim the head but you should be able to find somewhere local to do this for you. To get the head off and you take your time and dont rush its 3-4 hrs.

[cameron]

Cheers jim

TBH i think it would have to be done at Petes as he has way more tools than i have, and probably a better idea at what he's doing as well.

So a skimming place near barnsley would have to be located

[t5 pete]

its a big job ide have the head pressure tested and skimmed theres a full gasket set to buy new timing belt minds well do serpantine belt new etc whats it doing.
Heres when i did myne
