alternator is so easy to remove, have read many threads saying they can't get it out, its slides right on out, and to do a headgasket is easy as well, if you need transport for work and need a fast weekend turn around then it would be alittle daunting but as i can spare a week its turning out really easy thank god!! :) I will mention im using a steel headgasket though as thought I may as well, have to pick my colours for tarting engine bay up though and while im in there im going to do a complete wire chop and engine bay clean up, not needed item deletes :thumleft:

If you have taken the head off you will need to replace the head bolts too

already got it all back together and painted, looks xxxxxx awesome! lol, carrying on with the engine bay tidy as no rush to get it done, although once turbo fitted when I find another one, standard or upgraded ready for my forge build I will do on the side at a later date then its ready to to be fired up, all valves cleaned, new seals fitted, cylinder head cleaned and carbon removed from aswell as pistons cleaned, cylinders are in new condition, everything cleaned and ready to release more hp :thumleft: lol

moment of truth will be soon when I come to start it
