Make sure you label the camshafts.
Whatever ya do don't let those buckets & shims fall out or get mixed up.
As it's been overheated get the head hardness tested by engine/head people.

Cams are laid out and labelled as show in the pic. Im assuming the buckets and shims are the things the cams touch right?

Yep you are correct, be careful because they have a mind of there own, they can & will jump out of the head without any notice.
Good progress bro.
How are ya olds feeling about the workshop @ the front of their house ???

They certainly did jump out but we put them back in so im pretty sure theyre not mixed up. Olds dont know lmao, theyre in Singapore atm so engine should probably be back in before next friday. They dont even know about the RX lol

No real progress but updates. Soaked the fuark out of the cross member and bellhousing in degreaser. All the oil and gunk run onto the tarp i bought and put under it finally. So just dirt and a bit of gunk left to pressure wash out.
More KW/sweg on the way
Ty popped round to take the heads to get machined and to give some advice. Mainly to move the camshafts from under a tarp in the drive way into a box on the kitchen. Am now freaking about the reassembly but looking forward to it at the same time
