Hi Guys,
Little update..... My original mechanic let me down, so managed to rope an old friend in who has worked all over the globe on all types of engines, (stroke of luck!!!)
Some of the leaks on the gasket covers have been explained by the fact that the bolts have threaded out of the ally head.
We drilled the head out to 6.5mm diameter and installed 6mm heli coils - sorted
Timing locked off and cam belt removed, water pump replaced, cam sprockets removed and cam carriers resealed and rocker covers resealed.
More next week..........
