I don't go on here often enough - so sorry for being two weeks behind everyone else.
Enjoyed the night as always despite the weather.... but absolutely gutted for you LittleRhino - it's always sad when a 'liner goes to heaven - especially when it has had so much time and attention - like yours. Hope you can find a new love to replace her....at least you are both OK.

Confirmed my head gasket is blown ...... bubbles and definite exhaust gas in coolant.. :confused: odd as engine is running great at the mo and handling is great with new camber set up. Ho hum - a big winter strip down could be fun 'spose. May as well get injectors cleaned + flowed whilst motor is in bits. Anyone know a good engineering firm to skim a head in Manchester??.... so not in the Skyline for a while... unless we are meeting round ours.:sorry:

Head shop warrington mate. They built my bottom end and they rebuilt and did all the work on my head. Good prices too and big John is a good guy. Google em and they should pop up immediately. Just tell em skyline ant put you onto em :)

Cheers Anthonymcgrath. Went with Oldham Engine Parts in the end as Wigan is a bit of a trek. They have done a great job with 24 hr turnaround at a good price. Skim, Valves reground with new stem seals, decoked exhaust ports, pressure test + core plugs renewed - plus new cam seals. Dropping it back on tomorrow morning + hopefully fire up by next weekend. (Fingers crossed all is good). Then just to get rid of this pesky winter weather.
