yes, nip to your local library and get the haynes for a cav gsi. or an astra mk2. photocopy the relevant pages, and the torque settings, jobs a good un. i honestly cant remember if its "work from the inner cap outwards" or " round in circles" or "in a cross pattern".

I have a manual for a Cav GSi. Can grab it tomorrow and scan in the pages if you dont mind waiting?

Start in the middle and work out in circles, same for head bolts.

so say you had...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

You would do it 4, 12, 13, 5, 3, 11, 14, 6, 2, 10, 15, 7, 1, 9, 16, 8.

Get me?

Cheers mate, im hoping to get loads of questions answered so people can refere to this at a later date.

and yeh, i just fancy something older and RWD is a must lol.

Nice thread!! Good effort if this is the first time with a strip down/rebuild...Loving the Dolomite idea, been toying with getting one for a while, you should be prepared for the rust worm to nom nom owning a Nova and all!!lol

i have stripped a 8v befor just to see how it works, but this is the time lapping in valves, and rebuilding it all. so learning alot.

and yeh im not gonna rush into buying a dolomite and try and find a good one.
