where is coscast printed on the head. thanks. i cant work it out from the pic and want to see if my engine has the same head

As Welsh Dan and The Simps have said. Also when the head was on but the engine was out the car my dad noticed that it was a coscast head will have to ask him how he new.

Also check for the core plug in the end of the head, by where the dizzy goes

The head is now sprayed ready to fit. And my EPS arrived in the post on friday. Looks like there is a piece missing on one of the brackets that bolts to the car. What do you think?



Also when I got home today I found out that without mentioning names someone had reversed into the front of the car bending the wing just below the passenger headlight and also the front panel. Gutted! When I can get the battery out of my camera to charge it I will post pictures of the head and damage to the car.

Damage to the front panel and wing



Managed to add some more dents to my car, took the bonnet of and put it against wall and the wind blew it over . Fitted the head and took the car for drive. Couldn't really test what it goes like because it was raining and my wipers arn't connected, so couldn't see out the windscreen all that well. Ow also had no nut on the steering wheel. At least it got back up the hill this time, which It woundn't do before. Also the radiator has been on and off the car so much I managed to brake one of the mounting points, fixed it at first but its started to leak after it had been taken on and off the car again.

Damage to radiator



So instead of trying to fix it again I bought this genuine valeo instead



Also bought this off saloonwoody, hope he doesn't mind me using his picture



Got some time off work now so will hopefully get abit more done on the car. Ow also got the lad who I bought the EPS of to send me the bracket I was missing.
