Good on you for having a go.
Just remember to take things nice and slowly so as not to bugger anything up!!

just finished cleaning my RH cylinder head and it is not clean as new
but it would be close to new when it put the cylinder head back tomorrow
:lock:



my filthy LH cylinder head







it looks like there is nothing wrong with the head gasket lol

 

[fitz_vt]

The head gasket might of just become dislodged but its still best practice to replace the head gasket, and if that does not work then you would be looking at a new head, better yet just replace the whole lot. as there might be other damage

thanks fitz

i still cleaning up the head and placing all the valve seal

i still not sure where the noise were coming from. Hopefully wasnt coming from the bearing or it maybe only the valve lifter noise since water mixed up with oil and was over the maximum level on the dipstick at the time
