the very first "kit" of bits

and the 70 quid price is just what i have heard in the past, just saying i dont need them

[djbrowney]

you dont need the steel head gasket complete waste of time, use your old oil pump (check the gears are ok and fit a nylon relife valve) and buy a complete cambelt kit is not worth the risk.

im sure you could buy all the parts your self cheaper from sbs and auto vaux

sorry jav

[bmw156]

see i dont wanna reus my oil pump incase its over used etc. bt as you say, check it etc.

and i know the tensioners are brand new, so im just gonna buy a cambelt. and yeh gonna start looking at autovaux.

also i am gonna get a tripple layered head gasket, as my head is on the limit because its been skimmed, so it will hopefully get the compression back to somewhere normal and it should stop some valve/piston love making

[djbrowney]

the steel gaskets are no thicker than a standard one mate, jut check your oil pump i would rather use that than a pattern part one any day !!!

[djbrowney]

just for the record a new gm oil pump is £197 on it own plus the vat from auto vaux i darent even ring vauxhall

[bmw156]

Ok, i got paid, so the head has been sent away to be skimmed and i am getting it back tomorrow night, the guy said he couldnt take away all the pitting, but it will be ok.

i ordered:
valve lapping tool
honing kit
head gasket set
bottom end gasket set
bonded baffle plate
main bearings
big end bearings
plugs
water pump
cool running thermo
timing belt
head bolts

just waiting for it all to turn up.

also been reading into Mega jolt
and found some useful links for information and parts

for a mini, but same principle

also, been looking into the oil pump situation,

and think im just gonna measure my one and then fit a relief valve as mentioned above from SBD, their code is OS-NV-1-K and price is 49.95 which i dont think is to bad, because if my gears are ok, and i fit this for 50 quid, it saves me buying a aftermarket one for 50 quid.

good times.

Meh, fook the nylon relief valve, more hassle than they are worth IMO

Most difficult part is mounting a 36-1 trigger wheel/ford crank sensor
