£4 for the head gasket? You need to persuade him to advertise on here.

The focus was on the engine now, I had already stripped the engine down of any unnecessary parts and we had tried to start it. then it dawned on us that the engine didn't actually have any compression. We didn't really want to have to remove the head as the only replacement parts are NOS ones. Anyway we removed the head and Found the exhaust valve stuck open. As you can see the valve and the valve seat is incredibly rusty and pitted, I left the block and valve with my uncle who managed to grind it down to a useable state and the engine runs quite nice now. As for the head gasket I managed to find someone in Greece who was able to make a replacement from a scan of my old one for the cost of £4 We also managed to remove the old exhaust which had rusted in

Replacement seat now sorted out...

Woken at 5am this morning to a loud thump . On investigation I could just make out some bushes in the yard, 'tween house and workshop through the kitchen window. Funny! We didn't have any there yesterday. Further investigation, after getting dressed, showed it was not bushes but tree branches that had snapped off a larger limb. That was using the end of my house for support. This is the end off the tree. And this is where it came from. Now maybe someone will see sense and do something about the rest of the tree.
