About to start the valve reassembly on one of the heads. Everything was so clean I was happy to lay my biscuit on the table with the coffee!! It was actually quite a calming experience.

When you do a job like this, the pride you take in the car is immense. Why would I want to sell this after I put my heart in sole into saving her from the scrap yard? Nah. She's a keeper.

The rear bank with head gasket fitted waiting for the head to be lifted on to it. I did this on my own and I'm 67 so it was a tad tricky since I had to get in the engine bay and kneel on the engine to get in the right position. Remember the vehicle is jacked up to so it's high.

The heads all skimmed, cleaned of contamination and with the valve seats glinting in the light after being polished.

This was as difficult as I thought it would be. just take your time, don't rush and inspect your work closely.

The heads skimmed and cleaned out, and the valve seats with nice little glints from the polishing.

The valve grind. First time for me but wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

The cylinders came up nice. Did someone say a cambelt had broken?

An initial water test. Most of the valves leaked or seeped because of all the carbon deposits on the faces and seats.

It was a mess when we exposed the cam belt which was broken in several places and had teeth stripped off it.

Forlorn. I towed her home thinking the car would become scrap value only and I was actually quite upset at the thought.

The clean up begins and a bit of CRC and some rubbing was all that was needed to get these cylinders looking good.

With the heads off I was surprised at the cleanliness of the cylinders. This is 270,000km's! Those deposits were flakey and generally pretty easy to remove. The cylinders showed no sign of damage.

An inspection camera through the sparkplug holes only gave a limited view but all cylinders looked like this and gave me a feeling that there might still be hope.
