Motor has to come apart because the head is cracked. The 2 outer cylinder head bolts came out nice and easy, so did the 12 nuts. 10 mins to get the head off.













Taking the head up to see about repair. Otherwise have to keep looking for a replacement.

Oh nooooooooooo!!!!!

I like the idea of feeding back on the performance of organisations and individuals used by members of the club. So, I have decided to include this theme in my project thread.
Yesterday, I transversed the capital to deliver my cylinder head to deepest South London. John Andrew of I KLEENZ MACHINES quoted £150 approx to repair and vapour blast the head and cam cover.
I will feedback on his performance when the parts are ready.
