No probs mate u will need a torque wrench to tighten the head bolts up and do them in sequence aswell

smoke from last night was worse than this before that!

also got my girlfriend to rev it a little bit while I held my hand around 10cm's away from the exhaust and it spat oil and petrol out with condensation too..

Is there coolant in expansion tank? Or any mayo gunk under the oil cap?

Take it to a local garage and ask them to test the coolant oil

Not to sure about the coolant but mayo gunk yeah there is!

taking it to the garage tomorrow and see what's what, I know it needs a new radiator as it's leaking a little bit sometimes a lot

It's more than likely the head gasket but sniff testing the coolant is the best way to know for sure

sniff test, new to me? what do I smell for mate?

It's a tool that you put in the expansion tank and there electrical or use a yellow fluid and it's able to detect if oil has mixed with the coolant

Ah sweet, I think the oil has mixed in with it, I opened the oil cap before and it was steaming with mayo coloured gunk on the cap too the coolant tanks got black sludgy crap at the bottom of it too?

http://www.blockchek.com that's it there, very cool in a geeky way

Mayo gunk isn't a definite way of telling though, you have a couple of the tells though so it probably is

That's awesome!

Mine is a rough idle too! and struggles to start unless it's cold
