[doc] Head gasket

["nick12dmc" <Tammyfew@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
After helping Dean with his car yesterday it was LJH's turn today.
I decided that after my Friday 13th overheating, that it was time
to get the heads off! 
After 5 hours labour I have the exhaust system off, inlet manifold
off, water pump out. 
The passenger side cam cover is off and I have now stopped until
I can make a tool to hold the timing chain so it does not move.

I have a ever growing list of required spare parts as I don't 
want to do this again!
1,Cat converter (crumbled inside, what a mess) replace with bypass 
pipe
2,Water pump (might as well replace)
3, Coolant pipe (full of muck/rust, ends badly rusted)
4, Sensors in Y coolant pipe 

Once the head is off I will take to a local engine specialist
to check it out.
I have been following the instructions on www.dmcnews.com
Any advice will be well recieved.

Regards
Nick H
