[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 3580, member: 82"] Well i managed to find time today after work to check the head bolts....... They were all pulled down to the correct tension when i put it back together about 12 months ago. I have only really used it within the last 4-6 months. The bolts were really loose, when i let the tension off on each bolt before tighthing they all let off a PFFT as the gas behind would escape. I ended up turning each bolt down between 1 and 2 full turns more than they were before. They were so very loose, no wonder i had bubbles in my radiator. I'll give it a few weeks and see if the air problem is gone or not, if not i will need to replace the head gasket. It seems alot better, before i could turn the machine off and you could hear the over flow tank bubble, you can't hear it now. So anyone that replaces a head be warned, let it warm up, then re-tension the bolts or you could have the same problems as i had. Let me know how you go with the pump installation. [/QUOTE]
