Have an oil leak, so planning on tearing apart my M20 next week so I can replace the front crankcase seal, the oil pan and valve cover gaskets and the head gasket.
I've done the timing belt once, so I know how to do that much. Anything in particular I need for tools or good heads up with regard to the head and crankcase seal?

Oil is cheap, be careful. My car is a pile of parts in a storage unit because "while I'm in there". Sent from my potato phone.

If it WAS Automotive Supply then you would know instantly from the head being machined down 2000 thousandths of an inch in which your valve heads would be machined right off.

My Ebay head arrived on Friday. Off to the machine shop on Tuesday and hopefully begin the process of re-assembly later this week!
