Head Gasket Job
Discussion
Morning blitz, yes I do need to try and get it running first, but I'm stumped, my local garage are too busy and the compressions are down / it's been using water for a long time, so the heads ( or at least the right one ) is going to have to come off.
It looks like the front right hand cyl head bolt is impossible to get to with the header in the way ?

Thanks guys and yes oil into the bores to see if it's the rings. I have an invoice from circa 2001 or 2002 when Alex Roebuck the first owner had new rings fitted @ circa 30,000 miles I think.
Anyone recommend a specialist in the Sth East I can trailer the beast to ? I'm out of my depth trying to diagnose what's wrong. Not having the use of it over my Bithday And this time of the year is driving me nuts.....but thank god I still have the old M3 for some hooning !

Hello Tv thanks for your reply, such a pain the manifolds have to come off first, particularly the right one as those bolts are such a pain to get to ! I've just had my local garage replace the gaskets on that side as well, but at least that should make them easier to undo !
Re a slipped liner, yes it's been mentioned that a liner could have dropped, but just 102 psi in one cyl on the right bank does mean something isn't right.
She has felt a little down on power recently as well and has used a little water since a hose burst in 2010 and the rad went in 2011.
