decided to remove head anyway, bores look perfect, although i can only see 2...if i'd thought , i would have tried to have all pistons down halfway, to see upper parts of all bores
rocker cover studs were really tight, bent them getting them out
didn't spot the "hidden" water pump bolt until i'd got the hammer on it a few times!
questions....how can i tell whether i've disturbed the liners, as they're so well located?
....do i really need to bolt them down, as the head won't be off for long?
incidentally, bores got water in, as i hadn't drained down enough, but a good powerful hoover out with a pointy attachment gets any crud/water out, if you go round the edge of the piston carefully
also, got heater valve apart...needed to grind off retaining screw (will fit roll pin in place)
now, just got to buy all the gaskets etc, do a head skim etc
