A bit more progress... I have modified the breather on the timing chain cover and given it a good clean and a coat of paint..I cut the breather down its full length and removed all the gunk and gunge that was inside, then after a clean I welded a plate onto the front. I think it looks a bit better than bashing it flat with a hammer...but I suppose either way does the job!!
I also cleaned and refitted the water pump.



Then I refitted the oil presure relief valve..



Head studs refitted and a new BK 450 head gasket..



I carefully fitted the cylinder head and then the push rods.



Then on go the rockers, I made sure they seated onto the push rods properly and then fitted the locking plate before torquing the whole lot down...That plate is important as it holds the grub screw that secures the rocker shaft in place..



Its getting very close to going back into the car now.
