    The head is off and it is "just" the head gasket. The head is dead flat and no sign of warping . Tomorrow is reassemble. Pics to follow.

    A bit of nostalgia to help things through 😃🍻

    The photo makes the valve look whiter than it really is .plus I've been running a couple of fills of 95 PULP with cleaner and octane booster. I'm sure it will darken up again once I'm back to the 91 octane and no additives.

    Seeing that it is the cylinder nearest to a water hole in the block, there may have been a bit of a gasket leak there as well.

    It is almost unheard of that a sleeve on an end cylinder will slip, if that is what you are getting at .

    I'm back on the road ! The car feels fantastic, no vibration from the engine and the power is back .

    Tightening up those head bolts....wow what a workout even with a 1.2m extension on the handle 😥😳

    I'll update with pictures over the weekend......
