cheers guys..had a day in bed today after trying to work yesterday and trying to fit the bottom suspension arm cause the new pin turned up..but my head just ain't working enough i over tightened it so much it snapped lesson learnt not touching the van till my heads working again well as close as it gets 

4-25-2014

well my heads now fully fuctioning again..well as close as it ever gets

still really not happy with the paint work..really could do with someone who knows about paint to come have a look and tell me where i'm going wrong..

anyway took a little break from the paint to start the engine rebuild...new thrust washers/clutch plate and a few other bits and we're starting to get somewhere..

main problem engine wise to sort out is the cylinder head..had 2 studs snap off on the strip down..and today the stud extracter snapped off in one of them

any recomend some good drill bits? cause the ones i've got don't want to touch it..ohh and what size tap do i need for the themersat housing?

after looking at Sal's thread decided i needed a bit of yellow

before...

and just for sal  after...
