Not sure why I'm updating, as nobody seems to comment on it on here Must be bored I guess
Anyway, new heads fitted, all timed up etc, found out 3 way hose is leaking(which is why head probably died.
This hose is the 3 way one at back of the block, and is an 8 week wait from Vauxhall. So have had to buy roose one for £55 so can ge car back next week.
So all this because one pipe had small leak. Nealry 1k of engine work later :@
