hi, finally got all the valve guides done, had to get new exhaust valves as 2 of them where bent, seated them all in, jobs a gooden. got it all back together and started up the beast, purred like a kitten when it started  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley then  Cry Cry Cry the water pump started to add to the deluge of water that the sky has been providing laitley. got another pump on order, fingers crossed this will be it for the moment so i can ride it to its m.o.t, only ten days late for it lol.
