haha yeah unfortunately I got back to read this too late and ive got the new engine on a stand with the head off and the rest ready to be pulled apart although would it be worth stopping now just cleaning it up as it and putting the new headgasket ect on it...? haha.. I kinda got lucky with borrowing my mechanics lexus for abit and then i picked up a cheap xg ute to run around in now.. so i'l be doing a full rebuild... might even paint it up in the process. haha..
Here are 2 pictures with the head off..
