some bad but good news on the golf the head gasket, valve stem saels and hydrualic lifter have gone, so this week the heads off to be rebuild and gas flowed and then mated with a piper cam and metal head gasket

Common failing that gaz, esp on the head gasket. I'd check the head ain't warped. I had a previous sat with a warped head. 18 thou skimmed off sorted it.

not warped mate as the gasket aint gone yet just slight signs its going
