No problems will try doing it as per your instructions, do you think I could give it another go by using the same head gasket, & I will pull it apart when the new one arrives and swap it over

She's all friggy diggy now, took the top half of the motor off, helicoil to all the stud mounts, machined 4 new studs from high tensile steel, new high tensile bolts, used an aluminium sealer on the head & barrel face, tensioned to 25ft/lbs, & bingo she's not leaking from anywhere now, she runs smooth as & no oil stains anywhere, thanks all for your advice, will do this to every new motor I get from now on as standard mod.
