Engine is coming out this weekend. Oil is coming out like blood, streaming down the rocker cover now... I think improving the head and valves has put more pressure on the obviously weak piston rings.
Engine will go away and come back as a short engine and I'll get the injectors and pump looked at as-well. I'm going to buy gasket kit for the engine (STC1559), head is already done but i probably need a new head gasket again anyway so may buy that kit (STC1562). Clutch seems ok but sometimes judders when pulling off in 1st, the kit costs £86 (STC8358) so question is should i be sensible and replace the clutch whilst engine is out anyway, or be tight and leave it alone? Hot spots have very slight cracks but still look servicable until next time.
Also going to do seals on gearbox & t-box as both drip(worse in heat of summer). RTC6797 and RTC3890 are just under £10 and are hopefully the right ones for my box (LT77S i think).
Most important question is.... Have i missed anything?
