    Default A Happy Ending

    New timing chains and guides, 12 new inlet valves. Take the head off again cos of a coolant leak. Oil looked like weak tea when it came out but after two changes is back to black coffee. Worth it? Forgot how good it was to drive Thanks to all for help and support

    Leak was from the gasket between the lower timing chain cover and the block- the section at the back of the waterpump
