new camchain? been a while since i've done this but dont you have to split the camchain to get the heag off?

[RedexRobB]

If the chain gets stuck at the bottom you can always file away the bit of casing to get it through, its a mod thats been done before.

[rover220]

[RedexRobB]

Can you re-use the head bolts? Or are they re-usable?

you have havent you, why i took hg as something to do with a compression tester i dont know, isnt hg something to do with measuring the hydrogen content in something like battery fluid?

im not sure lol, "in/hg" is a measurement of pressure if that means anything.

ive been lookng at the manual and to replace the base gasket, it looks like im gonna have to remove pistons/rings and refit... is this correct?

[RedexRobB]

Yeah defo need to do that, no other way to get the base gasket on because the locating studs for the block pass through it.
