changed headgasket

Post by Steve963 »

just changed my headgasket and cambelt over the weekend on my 1.2 8V.

not too bad a job (if it lasts)

was looking at the cam and noticed one of the lobes was shaped like a witches nose :shock:
must of been starved of oil at some point, it had also worn a 1m deep groove in the rocker.
was on the exhaust valve of cyl 3, didnt test to see how much the valve actually opened :lol: if at all

crankcase breather was also gummed up

got a new cam and housing with rockers etc from scrappy £15

started her up and smoked really bad! but luckly it was steam! was very noisy but has now quietend down really nice after a few mins, just hope it lasts
