I know Andy.
He is on holiday and I was considering him to do the work, but I contacted a rather good car engine guy in Southall I have known for thirty years. He supplied the engine last year in my current car for half retail!!

He is reboring my head (the z900 head) as I type. The rebuild starts tomorrow. I hope to post the results. I would like to say thanks to the members for their useful tips of late.
If only I had a cam chain splitter tool I would be happy. They cost over ?40 retail, what a rip off for a tiny tool you use once every 50,000 miles!
Oh well the original is hardly worn so in it stays!
bye for now
Phil
