Hey all, when I wrote the tittle i was thinking of that song "the heat is on". Could be a theme song for the 7M. LOL
Any ways, I got the head back on with not to much fuss. Had to run all over town looking for a thin wall 14mm socket only to grind my own down. Torqued the ARP's down to 82 with the permatex disc quiet on the cometic MHG. The Head is fully Reconditioned AND CRACK TESTED! (for IJ). Now I have just two questions.
First is when I opened the little bag with my spark plugs I found this little plate (see the pic) Its to late to go out and check but where on the head does it go? I didn't take it off. I will eventually find it but whats its purpose?
Second. The CPS. This is what I have found out. When putting it back on make sure piston 1 is at TDC, make sure both cams are at TDC and just install, right. Place timming belt on and turn 720'. Make sure it still lines up and hey presto..... ( The cams TDC can be found with the little notch on the cam gears facing directly up right?) I need to search some more I know but I have to be up in 5 hrs for work and then straight back into the engine
Thanks heaps and wish me luck. (IJ getting the little allen key out on Thur/fri.)
Ps. Second pic is just of my dump pipe. mmmm big.
