It's just having the right tools and the bottle to give it a go.
I'd not risk it because I'd need my car the next day to get to work!

What about uprating stuff while it's all in pieces?
Seems a shame to waste this opportunity only to rebuild it all with std parts...

Leaving the Engine Internals standard, if anything i would change the Inlet Manifold and Exhaust Manifold.

What is it - 1.4, 1.6?
If I had the balls to open mine up I'd have a new head in there straight away.
