Good news on getting the bolts shifted, I hope the valves go ok, you are basically doing a leak down test but when i bought a cheap leak down tester to test my compression the air blew straight through but my compression when cranked was 170 psi + so I am not sure why or how or maybe my valves were open. Check lifters are not collapsed and then measure between the folower and the cam lobe, there should be no gap.

Getting there then, I always use an airline to blow around my spark plugs before removing them.

Trying to buy parts on ebay is proving difficult, I am trying to buy the whole kit for M62, I message the seller and they say it won’t fit, or they don’t bother answering.

They are probably worried about sending it out the country and it not arriving , what kit are you trying to buy ? |

Have you thought about finding a drop shipper - somewhere in the UK you can have parts from different suppliers sent to and then they package it all up and send it out to you when its all arrived so you only pay one lot of postage. I'm sure one of the site sponsors (MD Couriers) does it. Current Fleet:-
