jevansio Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 I was just about to order some oil, 2 cans of 15-50 mobile1 sound fair? http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-803-mobil-1-15w-50-advanced-performance-synthetic-engine-oil.aspx It certainly does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dupra Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Seems like a poorly engineered head from the start, at least the company you bought it from noticed the caps in wrong possition. where did you get the head from? good luck with the re-build bro.

jevansio Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 I got the new head from Jamie this week, everything about it looks better. There are no scoring marks in any of the cam journals, there isn't a helicoil in sight , and I put a straigth edge across the cam journals (on both the old & new head), the old one was like a see-saw (slight exageration), but it was obvious the cam was being held in a banana type shape, the new head is perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
