update 1:

have bought all my new parts for head gasket cambelt kit e.t.c pics of head off checked to see if the heads warped and as you can see from the pics it is does anyone know where i could get it skimmed will ask peeps at work tmorrow but thought might aswell see on here









update 2:

UPDATE
