Forgot to mention that you can also see 2 heat spots per cylinder too either side of the glowplug holes.................
Just spoke to the engineering place and the cylinder head passed the pressure test and is just getting a light skim - great newsnot bad either at £60 + VAT but still waiting for the gaskets and stuff to arrive

are all the valves straight?Well........... just had the new head gasket / head bolts / radiator delivered just waiting for the new valve stem oil seals..............
I'm replacing all of the valve stem oil seals as i've got the head off - think they only cost £3 for 8![]()

Yep - glad its sorted mate!
Thought i'd replace most of the stuff that was removed when the work was going on....... glad i replaced the valve stem oil seals a few of em had gone hard and weren't sealing properly. A couple of the valves looked like they weren't sealing 100% either so all the valves were lapped into the head - glad we had the wobbling drill attachment![]()
