Head replacement...nearly done!

Hi folks, and thanks for the help so far...i'm on the final stage of replacing the cracked head on my 2.5N/A.

According to the guide i've got the tappets should all be adjusted 0.25mm after the head bolts are tightened to 123nm. Is this right, no difference between inlet and oulet?

What a weekend.....

yup, that is correct.




told you it was an easy job to do!

O yes, actually wasnt too bad, glad i got a spare head otherwise i;d be buggered! Took the time to fix the heater motor too, re-wire the spots and fit the dash properly...only taken me about 20 hous and 40 smokes...cheap as chips!

That doesnt mean i want to do it again next weekend!

How about the weekend after...?

The head's a heavy bastard of a thing to shift though isn't it! Especially if you're on your own.
