Ok so I bought a 72 bay with a blown head..... I knew that there was a problem, being my ever optimistic self I was hoping that it was something simple like the tappets needing adjusting... yeah right, ! I am completly restoring it so I guess this is one of my lesser problems and I got it cheap, Anyway.....
It turns out after attempting to adjust the valve clearances I discovered that one of the valves has blown through its seat.
If anyone has a spare 1600 cylinder head, I would really appreciate if you could let me know, I guess I will be getting both heads skimmed... be stupid not to, I think, any advice greatfully received.
Hoping to hear from you.
