[dazleeds]

What has the new head come with mate?

apperently engine had rebuild ran well was dynoed at 150?

then engine started to burn oil?

[dazleeds]

not sure whether to strip it all down and get it tested/skimmed etc

shouldnt have to as was done a while back but????

also i have full old head all is well with that except crack so can sort any taps etc

just wish i had the skills/knowledge to strip it

[Chris-W]

I'd get the head lightly skimmed anyway if I were you.

Your head gasket set should include the timing cover (profile) gaskets & valve stem oil seals etc, so what you should need is :

head gasket set
timing chain& tensioner
timing chain guide rails mine shagged
water pump
Head bolts

does head have to be stripped down to skim??

[Chris-W]

Nope.

[dazleeds]

Nope.

phew thank god

is it gonna need a thicker gasket if skimmed??

if yes where from?

sorry im not very technical lol

[Chris-W]

No - as long as you let the guy skimming it know you will be using standard gaskets.
