I think the miggers are right Benn.
Just do your sump gasket change, belts etc and put it in. Worst case scenario is head has to come off which is probably easier to do in car tbh as you'll have decent leverage.
Simps, i take it you have never removed the head from a let fitted into a nova before?lol
I found it alot easyier when i done it the first time around with the engine on a stand lol
Oh - if you have a stand yes! But not rolling around/propped up against the wall in your garage! lol
The only bit thats tricky while in the car is the belt area.
Looking good mate :)
I have a stand, it was taken off so i could do the compression test, now back onit.Quote:

Belt looks slack below the water pump in the vids... Not that it matters I guess?
Number 4 looks like it has an xe piston in from that reading! All my xe's have been around 14 bar, let's around 11 bar!
Can't think of any possible reason for the high compression!
Yeah it was a bit slack, we quickly re fitted it to do the test.Quote:
