    am doing the head gasket on my rallye, have also got new timing belt, and tensioner.
    is there anything else that anybody would recommend doing whilst the engine will be in bits?

    if the tappets tap do thesecondcoming's tappet faq, it costs nothing.

    also i assume you will check the flattness of the head and block? i just do it with a steel rule and bright light.....
