nice!!! how much was the head gasket kit and head bolts? as i need to get a set for mine and have those head gaskets got a sort of visial identification to see if they're standard or thicker? if they have where abouts can you take a photo as wouldnt mind checking to make sure mines standard thickness...

[Jamie1991]

erm think head bolts were £10 for set, gasket set around £35-40 and belt kit was around £70-75. not sure if gasket is marked for identity, ill have look 2mra! sometimes it goes by colour, one i removed was red so this one is different.

[PRICER]

oh right, how did you get those did you have to give them a ring?

[Jamie1991]

no, just ordered them off net. actually they rang me after i made order and said i had ordered the early timing belt kit and the late type head bolts, so they was checking if i made mistake. so think somewhere down the line someone has put in wrong headbolts maybe or vauxhall did that on a few cause they said sometimes people order like that, i just went with what i ordered thou as same as parts i took out!

[PRICER]

whats the part number for head gasket kit and late type head bolts dude? if you can get them from your receipt i'l order myself a set for mine.

Engine looking good mate, Like reading a good build thread

[Jamie1991]

thanks mate
harvey.. head gasket set is AS90397813 and bolts AS90466480... check what bolts you have thou, there are female and male torx bolts and think different lengths too

[Jamie1991]

setbacks today well firstly breather had been painted few days ago so i now fitted it

then baffle gasket went on and then fitted pick-up pipe

then put sump on and started to torque down and a bolt snapped, so had to all come back off again
here pic of snapped bolt, i eventually got it out but sump is cracked a little so guna have to weld that when i can

[PRICER]

The sumps alloy so you won't be able to weld it I had same problem with mine was just easier to source another

[jacobyte]

How very annoying that, especially if you have to get new one

[PRICER]

You can pick them up for like £20
