hey guys i took the head off one of my engines i got lying around today just to see whats in them and came to a conclusion that they seem like a piece of piss to reassemble.
what are the bad/hard points of putting one back together? do i have to have some special tool to allign the head or somethin?
i know i need a valve spring compressor but other than that it seems pretty easy to do...
if its not hard i really gotta take my current one appart just realised since i felled her up wit oil just under a month ago, ive driven probably 100 k's and have lost about 2L of oil.. and there are no drips (farked rings??)
and im im gonna do that may as well get flat topps and stage 3 cam at same time haha
thoughts??

Re: reconditioning engine
just get a vrs kit comes with everything thing u need for doing a head. comes with vavle seals as well. repco should have all these or can order everything in. they sure have valves and valve guides. i get all my stuff from austral automotive. can get a balance shaft eliminator kit as well.
