I'd just like the thank Paul for his help again on Thurs.

Paul said he thinks the engine had blown its head gasket, so the head will need to be skimmed, so thats another thing on the list of things to do .

I've now managed to take off the flywheel, exhaust manifold (i found other eight bolts holding it on ), rockers + cam followers (i think) and take out the crank shaft.

Im now just struggling with taking the crank pulley off of the crank, getting the camshaft pulley off and i need to buy myself a valve spring removal tool, but that will be once i get myself a new job.

So i've now started derusting the disk brakes and i think ill be doing some more work on my chassis over the weekend. Then once i can afford it i'll be buying some gunk and other cleaning products to start cleaning up the engine.

I would take some more pics but i've had to send my phone off for repair, and thats also my camera so it'll be a week or 2 before i get it back
