well, just to do an update, today wasn't as warm as it was supposed to be
, but it is the North UK, so I'm not 100 surprised, anyhow
took the passengers side bank plugs and the coil packs out , no sign of oil on the plugs or the coil tubes, but I wasn't expecting it as I cleaned them all a few weeks ago , new plugs fitted and coil tubes fitted at that side ,
onto the other side
plugs out coil packs out , a slight drizzle of oil on plugs, none on tubes, then started to remove the rocker top what a bitch it was , how the bloody hell do you remove the black box that has the wires on for the coils, that's well in the way, anyway got rocker off, previous attempt at the gasket had a bead of black silicone all the way round the gasket (rocker side)
and the loose paint in the grove doesn't look brilliant
am leaving it for tonight now, bed time then pub later
ill take pics tomorrow if any ones interested ,
on a side note the car has done 156k miles and it looks pretty clean in there
