Blimey, you are a very lucky chap. Graham would faint with shock if he had them come out that easy but, like he said previously, your engine looks a million dollars compared to some of the ones we get through here :'( :'( :'(

Yes I'm beginning to realise that it's not bad after seeing some of the project threads...still it's a big but enjoyable learning curve for me ....and I've learned loads today...🙌

Big thing is all oilways scrupulously clean along with gasket surfaces, a tiny amount of gasket material in an oilway will wreck the top end

You had me worried then with talk of 're-engineering' :o These two have come out quite easily...which is more than I can say for some the fasteners so far! Can't budge the exhaust stub screws !

How the hell did you get those out without grabbing hold of the nipple ? Or have you flattened the nipple ?
I have made so many special tools to get those out.

Cheers Bryanj
After reading your post I've just spent a few minutes blowing air down all the holes in the cylinder head and seeing where it comes out ...to give me an idea of where the oil ways run...and to make sure they're clear. It is difficult to keep everything clean though, I power washed the motor before I started stripping it down but there's still dirt everywhere. I can now understand why some of you have separate clean and dirty workshops.
