Anyone got any tips ?

Hydraulic or solid? I've only done solid.

Must delayed response, all parts in place just have to collect the Spring compressor from a mate.

She's a later hydraulic engine.

Watch out for the stem seals in the gasket sets. They're slightly smaller in the hydraulic engines. and my local motor factor had to get them in separately as his supplier only had one set on file (for the older mechanical tappet engine).
