I have used a bar to get one side of headbolts out, however the otherside there is no room for me to get a socket in there... And i can't get the injectors out! Managed to get 2 of the head bolts out that side but it is bloody hard with a short spanner!

Anyone know how to get the injectors out?

I hope you slackaned all the bolts off before removing any! It's always good practice to work on an 'opposites' principle when undoing/tightening a multitude of fasteners to help prevent distortion.
 
I worded that wrong - All but two of the bolts are slack (I.e I can easily move them with a spanner) apart from two of the bastards that won't budge. Ideally i need to remove the injectors to get a breaker bar on there. However i can't get the injectors out.
 
Tis off! Tapped the injector with a hammer a couple of times and it is free. Used a bar and it come off easy :)

Head is off, push rods in a carboard cutout in order, Rockers are a in box, All is good :)

Best of all? It has had a rebore with 0.30 Pistions and a reground crankshaft :D Engine is fooking brilliant and the bores are spot on. Will put some pictures up later.
