Tech update: Cylinderhead

Removed the cylinderhead yesterday evening, delivered it to Carl Christensen this morning, and collected it again this afternoon: New valve guides, new valves and seat, cleaned up ports and skimmed the head itself. Great service! Unfortunately I am off for Copenhagen tomorrow, but will refit the head this weekend, and hope the oil weep has stopped. Booked for rolling road next week - interesting. The bad news: The guy rebuilding the gearbox has only started today, and discovered some parts missing. The hunt is on!
