  1. The head most definitly needs to come off if its a valve prob. A VRS kit is like a bag full of all the seals and gaskets you will need like intake gasket, exhaust gasket, head gasket, cam cover gasket/s, thermostat gasket, water pump gasket (if you change it), new cam seals, 'd' rubbers, cam cover bolt seals and any other gaskets and o-rings you may need to disturb to get the head off. Its cheaper than buying each seperately and way better than using the old ones. Be sure to buy a little bottle of 'permatex' or somthing similar to put on the water gaskets (thermostat, water pump, o'rings on water pipes etc).
  2. give the head bolts a thourough inspecton for anything obvious but they should be alright. try scotts auto one, repco, coventry auto parts for just the head gasket but it would be worth getting a full VRS kit that contains all the gaskets you'll need, get these from engine specialists possibly the above mentioned.
  3. Yeah, pull out the third spark plug and insert a piece of straight wire, turn the crank clockwise so you can see when the piston reaches the top (when the wire stops moving up). Remove the cam covers and look at the cam lobes over the third cylinder, make sure they are not pushing the valves down at all (valves closed). When you have this its at TDC cylinder 3 compression. The piston gets to the top twice in a cycle once on compression (valves closed) and once on exhaust stroke (exhaust valves open) Good luck
  4. Here's a few pics of my new one fresh from japan, at work in penrith.
  5. You should get a cylinder leakage test done to determine where the compression is going. this is where you get the engine on TDC No 3 cyl and feed compressed air into the cylinder and listen where its coming from i.e. remove oil cap if you can hear a fair bit of air then it has excessive blow by on that cyl (prolly cracked rings), if the majority of air is coming from radiator cap then blown head gasket, from intake tube then the intake valve is not sealing, from exhaust then the exhaust valve is not sealing. you must make sure the piston is at TDC compression stroke so that the valves are closed and when you feed the compressed air in make sure the crank doesn't try to spin back a turn or forward as it will if its slightly off TDC. Also where the compressed air is fed in through the spark plug hole it must have a tight seal (use the compression tester rubber or tube and seal it) so you can hear the air inside the motor.

  12. Usually means you have a poor earth on your head unit. dont bother connecting it to the existing car earth just screw the new head units earth wire directly to the chasis with a spring washer.
