Right, water pipe bust the other day and its down the back and hard to get to so decided to change the head gasket and get everything mint with the engine.

only spend about an hour on it today if that but this is what got done..





Also orderd a power cap, kent cams and a superchip so will get pics up of them when they arrive.

thats all for now

PS - the saxo spoiler is staying.. i like it lol

I would smooth the skirts in at the rear, also i feel a change of colour on the wheels, too much Black IMO. Otherwise top effort.

UPDATE 21/01/08

Picked up 2 new heads over the weekend because i had a good price on both of them and hopefully if there was anything wrong with one i would have a spare lol so here they are

Head 1


Head 2


Old head


Inlet off


And also these baby arrived this morning..



So the heads are off today for pressure testing and to have valves put in them and flatness checked etc so hopefully get them back tomorrow or the day after and start building my engine back together with my new cams(when they arrive) along with new gaskets etc
