Sorry, it must be the medicine :wink:

Can you do one side without the other.  I have miss on No 8 most noticable on tick over.  Its not electric or injectors so now looking at sticky or NG valve or NG head gasket.

Do you need to fit new headbolts?

How can you tell what type of gasket you need before you take the head off?

Range Rover Blues:
No * is D/S isn't it?

Yes you can do one side only but, if you regrind the valves you may end up with unbalanced compression.  You must fit the same type of head gasket that you find and you shouldn't skim only one head.  you can get round this by fitting a composite gasket in place of a tin one and skiming the head.

muddyweb:
I'd never bother only doing 1 side to be honest.   You've got the top end in pieces so it's worth doing both and checking it all / giving it a clean up whilst you are in there.  Head gaskets are peanuts, so the extra cost is minimal.

Take it apart once... put it back together once ;-)
