Next up for me is that I'm about to receive 2 secondhand cylinder heads for my 2.0 v6 , which I will be slowly stripping and refurbing over the rest of winter . The main reason for this is that my existing heads have got worn valve stem oil seals which cause clouds of blue smoke when starting from cold . So I will rework these spare heads at leisure in readiness for refitting them to my engine when it gets a bit warmer

Whilst it is all apart it can have new belts etc as well !
