wheres the best price for head gaskets and bolts at the mo?
last time i got a victor reinz one off benver but they're saying unavailable currently.

also i asked this before but cant remember what the answer was..... cam you get the cam out without taking the head off?
 
Dave can get Payen sets for cheap...

You would need to take the rockers off to get the cam out...dont think there would be enough room to withdraw it...
 
You can remove cam without taking head off - I saw Sibley do it, he used ratchet straps to stop head moving

Hilarious but successful
 
payen head gasket sets come with a victor reinz head gasket, the code for the set is dx590, I know, I just fitted one.

cheers Craig, i was just after the headgasket but may aswell just but another set.

wheres the best place to get a PAYEN set from then and how much?
 
I can get sets for around ?50 ish, although this may have gone up recently. They went up twice last year.

I wouldnt recommend you change the cam without changing the HG.....yes ive done it but I wouldnt recommend it lol. You have to lift the rocker assembly off and that means removing the bolts.
 
hence the rachet straps hey?? hahaha

no im gonna do it properly, i want to fit new head bolts anyway.

if you could find out a price for me Dave that would be great buddy

gonna get the cam to piper for early next week so ive got a couple of weeks.
 
Lemme know when you want one. I have one in stock, so I just need to ring and check prices to replace it.
