unlucky dude get the head pressure tested on the cav they do a 5 layer steel gasket for em which is much better
took me an hour to change my gasket but i never had my head checked,
i cheated also my mate found it hilarious as instead of removing the timing belt
i dropped the cam pully off after where i marked the belt and the pully so i know where the belt was on the pully,
changed it and lifted the belt and pully back into place,
checked for tightness
span engine over by hand to make sure ok.........voila
saved a fair bit of time
though my 17td was in a corsa you should be able to climb round your engine in a cav
