• 1 head Gasket (E) • Solder for head studs (E) • Instant gasket • Inner and outer valve spring (N), never needed one!! But take a valve spring cap. • Valve stem cones (N) but make sure the ones you have on are not worn! • Inlet and exhaust valve (P) unless the valve seats are bad. If you drop a valve it is going to do more damage than you can repair. • Pushrod (E) particularly if you are bombing down a motorway • Fan belt (P) but I have never needed one • Con rod bearings (N) (Unless you intend doing 10000 miles) more likely is the rear main • Con Rod tab washers (N) Take Loctite thread lock and use everywhere when assembling. Also do a spanner (nut) check before leaving. • Accelerator cable (P) but plumb it in. • Oil filter seal (N) but filter housing seal *3 (E) • I would take oil seals for front and rear wheels and possibly front wheel bearings (unless you have used Addmax B3 grease). • 4x Water transfer washers (E) Do not fit with gasket sealer! • Radiator hoses (P) but fit new ones first. Oil cooler take bypass pipe. • 18swg wire (E) plus some insulated wire and tape. • Petrol pump diaphragm and gasket (N) Take a complete pump either mechanical or electrical and a length of petrol pipe.(E) • Gearbox plunger and rocker arm.(N) but a pair of selector forks. • Fuses (E) • Bulbs all (E) • Condenser, contact points (P) but better is a complete distributor with leads and ignition coil, tested and marked for immediate insertion. Take timing light as well. (E) • If you are doing any night driving a dynamo or alternator advisable. • The list had a total lack of brake parts!!! • 3 types of brake springs(e) • Master cylinder and one each of all brake cylinder kits.
