I need to get some pics of the whole car as it now looks like new! really chuffed with it! saved alot of money too doing the painting my self, its by no means show condition but perfect for me
Also sneaked in to the Vauxhall herritage centre whilst i was at Vauxhall for work and found these bad boys

to be honest most Novas on this forum are in better condition than theese, bit of a shame considering theyre part of vauxhall's history and theyre letting them rust, probaly a more accurate representaion of vauxhall tho i guess. ha

Removed the head bolts and then took the cam carrier off

Noticed that all of the folllowers had a small mark on them from the cam, its only a small indentation but not sure if they need replacing or not, anyone got any thoughts on the matter??

Put the lifters in a clean tub of engine oil to avoid them from draining
