I got my new cylinder head back on Saturday night, skimmed and all the ports made bigger and polished. So I spent Sunday fitting it.

During the course of Sunday 2 bolts managed to snap, 1 in the head & 1 on the manifold. But lucky I managed to get them both out. The one that snapped in the manifold was just a dodgy one, I then went and replaced them all, got it on, and then one of the bolts that hold the head on snapped before the torque wrench clicked. I didn't find out till after that they are only supposed to be used once. I'm going to get some new ones at lunch and hopefully get it sorted tonight!

How lucky was that!

Have any of you lot had your head skimmed? If so how much did you have skimmed off?
