they don't need bleeding, the pressure of the oil will force any air bubbles if there are any after the first run, they can take up to 20 minutes to quieten down and often need a proper drive not just a quick rev.you could refresh them following this guide though - http://www.taylor-eng.com/16v_head/16v_head.htm ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

so it doesn't matter if some are hard and others are soft? i just chuck it all back together and they will sort themselves out? the head has been in bits for about 3 months now so i thought any residual pressure in them should have leaked out by now. |

emphasis on the supposed to be! that's an Mi16 by the way, not sure if the gti6 is meant to be the same, but I wouldn't be surprised if its not too dissimilar. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
