I managed to get 45min to tinker with the engine ... finally!
I got the heads off and the rocker shafts and game em a bit of a clean.
The heads were bogging, so the will need another clean.. mainly inside.
But i had a quick look at taking apart the rocker assembly, I faltered at the 1st pedestal as it didn't want to come of, and I didn't want to bugger it up...
Is there a technique to getting the pedestals off?
I did however get 1 rocker off to inspect, looks good from what I can tell, non of them have any play or much ware on the surfaces I can see.
I think the head gasket (at least) has been done before as the heads were done to the later 14 bolt torque settings already.
