all back together now, still have a few teething issues the exhaust manifold gasket is blowing which should just need retightening evenly when cold and it need a cam tenichioner it's wighning away and a new temperture sender as the temperture is reading way hotter than it's actually running

we ended up as well as fitting double valve springs, solid lifters my old kent cam was showing signs of wear so we put a new newman cam in as well, what a day

just filled up the cooling system and it's coming out of the swirl pot like a tap, the seal that allows my sensor for my kenlowe fan had deterated and broke when the old hoses came off, i was hoping i could get away with it until i could pick one up but the way it's coming out i'm not even going to attempt to start it with out it being replaced, burton sell them for £1.04 and are not open on bank hoildays how anoying is that
