for a std gasket the pug one is ideal, MLS and about £40.enlarger cutouts will drop the compression a little but not sure how much, the marginal skim makes up for it I'd imagine though. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Dont forget to empty the lifters, I used a g clamp, it will also check they they arnt sticking at all. There was a really good write up on here once upon a time, I will see if I still have it when I get home. |

Right, had a look at this again today. Measured up the valves accurately and sure enough they're not bent - the three that wouldn't come out do appear to be mushroomed around the end of the stems. These stem seals - which bits actually come out? Has anyone got a picture of one out? Also, how the hell am I ever going to get the collets back in?! ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

RE collets i think its best to dab a little grease on them to help 'stick' them to the stem.I haven't had chance to have a play with my scrap head yet as my dads spring compressor isn't big enough to get at the valves, and i can't justify spending £50 odd on a compressor when its only to play about with my scrap head to start with, though i'm sure i would get my moneys worth out of it over the years. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

That was my thinking, £42 it cost me in the end.Shame there are so many things wrong with the head really, kinda lost my enthusiasm to sort it out properly once so many things all appear to be wrong with it. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Yeah, my head is corroded pretty nastily and a few crucial chunks are missing.Some say i could have it welded then skimmed but i don't see the point spending huge amounts of money on a head that i will never be happy with. At least it wasn't a tapper so i now have 32 spare good valves  ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |
