Nice work. This head work is getting popular!
I'm surprised how small the head is. Steve. -------------------- XM 2.1 SED - RP5876

Hi Steve
Its the second time Ive done this particular cars head, its not gone or anything just wanted to put the better (re built) one on. It certainly is tiny compared to the head of that bloody great 2.5 you were wrestling with anyway, i was hoping to be getting on with the bottom ball joints and engine mounts etc etc this weekend, but the weather has put pay to that idea  Dean -------------------- 92 xm 20i prestige auto (modified)R.P 5678

Hi Peter
its a MK1 xantia wheel, i quite like it, although some people would prefer the single spoke but i find the rim is quite thin and uncomfy -------------------- 92 xm 20i prestige auto (modified)R.P 5678

Of course
 , new valves and springs, and a polished cam cover too, although i dont think the later will improve performance much Ive got a new de-cat downpipe from a carb version going on aswell plus a new tensioner, water pump, rear wheel bearings, bottom hose (last one to be replaced), filters, fluids and the obove mentioned parts. I wish we had snow here, all we have is a chilly N wind and rain Dean -------------------- 92 xm 20i prestige auto (modified)R.P 5678
