    Which engine oil?

    usually just 10w/40 semi sythetic! 5w/30 will give you noisey followers! but buy quality oil, comma, any brand that's recommended by pma or any motor factor, but no halfords, its not quality and will not keep its viscosity very long. hope this helps. Tom.

    New head and won't start

    put your foot flat on the floor and crank with a good battery,these engines injectors are operated by electronics and need to be bled through, foot flat on the floor will prime the injectors. iv seen people change these engines and then try this and it works! hope this helps mate. tom.
