... a feckin' corsa head gasket again Angry

What a nightmare Angry

51 plate 1.2 16v.....

Sump off, timing chain cover off, timing chain off and that's before I even took a single head bolt out! Turned out I didn't even need to take the head off! It had gone on the timing cover rear gasket on the water jacket passage behind the water pump.

And to cap it all my torque wrench broke so I've had to guess the head bolts tightness. He's coming back Sunday so I can re-torque them after I've replaced it Roll Eyes
