Missing a beat

Garth:
FINISHED :D  :D  :D  :D

Put all back together turned over with no plugs in till oil light went out.
Put plugs in and started straight away.  Tried to set timing but was a tooth out so sorted that and took for a couple of runs and seams and sounds  OK.  
Stinks though :!:

Garth:
P.S.

Thanks for all the help and advice

Ah, smug mode on, you must be feeling pleased with yourself :D

Well done mate, daunting task first time out isn't it?

If you can try a comp test on it now it's running.  Don't worry about the stink, it will and for some reason Ali engines stink worse but even just the grease from your hands will burn off, let alone any WD40 from stripping it or machine oil from the skim, plus of course the new gaskets.

Glad it went ok though, you're now an expert (not everyone bothers to skim the heads you know).

Garth:
Not going to bother with the compression test.  Its running on 8  :D

Doing the heads was not a problem (as said before done many Mini ones)
its all the ancillary items (injectors, power steering pump Air con conpressor etc) and the fact that all these were add on items so bolts are in the most inaccessable places.

Just hope the therory of "do a job properly do it once" works.

Range Rover Blues:
:D
