Twisted Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Just spent an hour on the cossie head taking the valves out and after a little pursuasion the 2 bent ones came out last Not so much bent as more in the shape of an S :madbugger: :madbugger: :madbugger:
Waxmonkey Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 you bin doin' that in the dark? no wonder it came out 'S' shaped. I'd have done it in some light.
Twisted Posted February 19, 2003 Author Posted February 19, 2003 Doh' why didn't i think of that no wonder its taking so long :pig:
RS2000 Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Lap them valves in then & get that head back on...... only take a couple of hours! I know i been there
Twisted Posted February 19, 2003 Author Posted February 19, 2003 Lap them valves in then & get that head back on...... only take a couple of hours! I know i been there maybe next week I haven't ordered my new parts yet :teleport:
RS2000 Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Where you getting them from??? I think i used most places when i was doing mine
Twisted Posted February 19, 2003 Author Posted February 19, 2003 dunno my local ford dealer can just about service a KA so i wont be going thereand the local motorfactors are just as bad
RS2000 Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Try Woodford Garages, (i'll dig out his No')As good as most places, group "A" head set was £165 but he will if you like sell bits seperately, cos there are lots of gaskets & o-rings in the set you don't need, not sure about valves as i didn't buy any, but i'm sure he'll help.The head set from him is Ford parts aswell. also you get stem seals in the kit but i never needed them , but i supose you will.Timming belt was about £28 i think
Twisted Posted February 20, 2003 Author Posted February 20, 2003 cheers mate, it helps getting parts from someone who knows what they are on about Hate it when you have to take things back and wait for the right bits valves are about £36 each . Glad i only need 2
