Bangernomics pt2.. 1997 Pugly 106. Saved from the scrapper.

Well Pugly's not ready to be cubed just yet. Best as i could tell the head was ok (it hadnt cooked) , so cleaned to mating faces back and slammed it all back together. A couple of seconds to get fuel back up and it ran sweet as a nut at the first time of asking. Properly relieved at my first attempt at a head gasket but going to run it around for a few days before i officially declare a win. I just need to do the valve clearances now , a couple have been a bit rattly for a while and i think one of the covers is just catching a belt and squeeling a little but all in im chuffed.

I need ones with a built in demister for when I have a mask on. It's like working in thick fog.

You're lucky to be able to have varifocals!

I suppose. Mrs cant as she suffers from vertigo so they wont let her have them. Mind you 3 years in i still occasionally mis-judge stairs and steps.
