right, update. Went and picked up a 2nd hand head last nite with no valve damage.

Had it sonic washed this morning at 6.30 :laugh:  and dropped off to garage this morning!

Hopefully get old one off today, order cambelt stuff, head gasket kit and bolts and hopefully have it all bolted together for early next week!

Happy days unless sumin else is wrong  :smiley:
