Hi Everyone

Had another thread to double check that my headgasket blew but after some testing, I'm now sure it has. Has anyone got any tutorials or photos on how to change them? I've searched high and low all day but can't find anything on google or here. It looks pretty straight forward but someone mentioned about the valves or cams that might need redoing, is this correct? Whilst I'm at it, I might as well change the cambelt so a how to for that would be nice too.

 

Thanks guys

All standard stuff. Just work methodically and it'll be easy enough. You could even keep the manifolds on if you're careful. Exhaust is always the most awkward. Crack on. Lots of pics please :)

Not sure where you get the tightening sequence from these days. It always used to be Haynes manuals? New bolts should have the settings maybe.

Although not sure it matters on a 1L engine. You can probably reuse the old bolts and tighten in stages from the inside out in a clockwise motion until about 50 lb ft. Obviously being careful and stopping instantly if it starts feeling a bit wrong e.g. not getting tighter.
