Update!

I finally found some time to add some more pictures of the rebuild, i sure some of you will be interested to see how things are progressing!
Finally got the heads back after 4 weeks or so, had to have all new valve guides and 1, yes 1!!, custom guide as somewhere along the line someone forced in a slightly over size guide and messed up the fitment of a new one. But all is well now. Had the valves all reseated with the proper 3 angle grind for optimal valve sealing, so compression will be up to spec!
Also fitted the cams the right way round this time, someone fitted the inlet cam for the exhaust...duh!! (same side with the bad valve guide...why do people do these things??!!)Now onto the pictures...

The heads...



With cam covers...mmm

Block with headgasket and ready for heads...keeping it clean here!

heads on...
