Started doing abit more tongith due to the fact i got my head Remover tool in the post...

So the head came off with easy which was all good for me and to my utter suprise the Headgasket Looked & Seemed fine...Even though looks can be deseving.
So thats the Headgasket now Binned Ready for a nice new One:D


Once that was done i removed Cylinder 1 piston which needed some Fettling due to the engine being at TDC.
So i had to Tap Number 4 down to allow me more room to get the rod out as it was catching on the shoulder of the inner wall...

And got that out and swaped the rods over....Measured up which was the intake side of the rod and which was front & Back...
The Next Step for me was to inner inspected the Inner Bore wall for Depth marks and Genral Wear But to my suprise & my Mates(Mechanic) It was Uber Smooth and Clean...As were the other 3 Cylinders..

Next for me is to hone the cylinders and Fit my New Rings then Fit and torque up the rods..

I got one rod done tonight due to me needing feeding...
Big Thanks Once again to John & Alex :D
