Hi Nick,
I did a compression test before I did anything to the engine. Found that 2 cylinders were a bit low (one on each bank) so decided to remove heads. It was clear that head gasket was leaking on the 2 suspect cylinders so had the heads skimmed and re seated the valves etc. New water pump with metal impeller (that's a no brainer) and then new cam belt, tensioner and idlers. Cam timing was much easier than I expected, especially with the cam setting blocks. Back together now all rotating and seems fine ready for installation in the near future.
Oh and of course a new GTA clutch too.
When I get into the build properly, you're welcome to come up and have a look. I'll post updates in the Lister Bell section at various stages.
Cheers,
Mick
