Bongo resurection - new built cylinder head ready to go!

Post by progroup » Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:45 am

Hello folks, I am a bit chipper tonight considering that I won't be suffering much longer from 'Bongo Syndrome' or 'BS' for short. :lol:

I have paid my entry dues into the Bongo Club let me tell ya! =D> BongoBlues has boosted my intake of anti-depresents too! :(

Seriously though; I wanted to share each step of the way so that any unsuspecting BongoNut might capitalize on my experience complete w/pics too! :wink:

The following link should direct you back to "another looming head job" the originating thread:

http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 9&start=45

I continue to add more pics as the job progresses on my 'DropBox' site. I will post new uploaded pictures shortly and provide you a link for viewing. :)

Today I encountered a few minor setbacks. The Head Gasket Set appears to be missing some parts. Specifically the oil filler-to-head gasket & top water inlet-to-head.

Does anybody know about the little micro "O" ring between #2 & #3 cylinder :?: :?: :?:

It is not in the gasket set I ordered. So, where is it?

I called my UK supplier - as it turned out they had opened the head set to remove the valve guide seals [not required for a built head], and must have droppped the little bag containing all the rubber based seals. They are sending a set out today! :D
