If your doing it whilst it's in place, remember to fish out the retaining grommet.

I un-screwed it and gave it a pull and all i heard was crack  :embarassed:

There was a rubber breather hose attached which goes through the hole in the rocker cover.

Bought a stainless back box as original is a bit rusty and it cost less than a pair of tail trims 
refitted the head just got to get the cambelt done now, then oil and coolant and it should be able to move again under it's own power.
