Changes the game though doesn't it?
Good Forum use that; you learn a  bit and discover that with a  few more calls you save taking a head off!

It will take longer with the head in place but an hours labour is nothing if you save taking a head off

Yoshi:
Well the original idea for doing it with the engine came on Friday night (hadnt seen HAW's reply) from v8seriesone (Dom) as he knows someone in Mold area that is a V8 guru!

Was gonna go down to him and stay overnight etc..... to get it done but found someone closer, so when i go down there now and stay overnight i can get drunk and go laning (not in that order obviously!) lol

Range Rover Blues:
TBH if I were taking the head off then I'd get all 4 done at once, if not both heads and all 8.  As said they are stronger than original but ublike cast in inserts they do not come loose on a hot casting because they are sprung.  Just make sure they use ones that can take the heat.

The cover for the rotary oil filter on the TD5 is only currently properly located by one screw as somebody has stripped the thread on the other one.  I'll need to helicoil that too I think.  Will need to be careful not to drop swarf in the filter housing I guess, but apart from that I'm hoping it'll be straightforward.  Another thing to add to the list.
