Top End Rebuild - Day 19

Spent about 2hrs on the car today and managed to fit the driver's side cylinder head. Didn't go as smoothly as planned but got it on eventually. Had to take it off the block a few times and re-set it. Might have messed up the nice seal the Gasgacinch made but hopefully this shouldn't be a problem. This gasket is supposed to work without any sealers anyway.

What confused me first is that the driver's side cylinder head is about an inch wider than the block and it extrudes out into the centre of the V. Thus if you stand on the driver's side of the car and try to position the head using the top of the head as reference you'll get it wrong.

I lightly lined the bores with a bit of the RedLine Assembly Lube I used on the cams.

























God I hope it went on OK. Going to torque it down tomorrow.
