got the heads off

now both heads are off can you tell if the liners have droped there is no lip between them and the block that i can feel is this good news

:nopics:

the tolerance has to be spot on but you may be lucky.

you dont say if h/g had blown any where, liners should be as one with block. as above pics would help

the gasket had gone between cylinder 7 and the edge of the block which made it sound like manifold gasket i will try and get some pics of it later as its on my moms drive

get the heads skimed and see what it comes back thats what would do, did do

You may as well fit a new waterpump and belts while your in there.

yes and give your rad a good clean out

ok got some pics how do i get them on or am i bein dumbclicked on the insert image tab but still not letting me

stick em on photobucket or similar then link em on ere... thats wot i do

done a few miles then.....

thanks very much pal how do you do that then or is it magicians code.Anyway what are we all thinking about the liners

img code, pity bout the focus i couldnt say meself off them pics

as nat said but dont look sliped to me, hope you got lots of wet and dry to clean them pistons

indeed i have just dont fancy doin it

why you getting to the best part well the bit i like most putting it back together. dont forget you need new head bolts now come on get on with it

new gaskets ,head bolts,belt,and water pump in the post and while its off the inlet is having a good clean and maybe a lick of black paint.Also doin the sump gasket as it was like a sieve

If the head gasket has gone between the cylinders and is pressurising the cooling system then it it almost certain that the liners have slipped, there is no water jacket between the cylinders so the only way coolant can get into a cylinder is from between the liner and block. The only way to see this is with a pressure test at a machine shop. Unless it's really bad then you wont see it with the naked eye.
