yes it is mine mate, changed the cylinder head with a couple of mates bank holiday weekend, got it together, a coolant pipe had split under the intake manifold, and there was coolant in the oil, i was so pissed off with it so had to take the bumper off to get towed to reg vardys(as no one had a low loader low enough), i'd spent 2 days solid 9am till 2am on it, everything is just hard to get to, its the intake manifold that causes the most grief
had a phone call tonight, it was the head gasket had gone, it was a brand new one, so it was either faulty, or we'd damaged it when fitting the ported head on, its fixed now(apart from pipe) but they been out in it and it seemed flat, so they want to check the valve timing on it, incase the chain has slipped a notch, I told them that the chain was defo ok after us, if anything out of the job that one spot on was that one as we were the most careful with, wait till monday now to find out
i should of just taken the engine out, it would of been easier
