From all that, i believe i followed pretty much all that. i am a bit suspect of the annealing tho. i will pull the head off on the weekend and see what i find.
I don't have a receiver groove in the head is this a problem?
When i was putting the engine together i went looking around Newcastle for 3bond but could not find it anywhere. i have since been told to use 'copper coat'. Any one used this? I'm at a lose at what to use. every one i talk to say 'product x' is the shit, then the next person says it sucks.
ANY tips on annealing, i plan on firing up the oven is this enough and how long for.
Barned01 : Did you mean you anneal the head gasket or the whole head. i haven't heard of doing the head.
Sorry for the length, so many thoughts going on in my head.
