I really enjoyed Mini Day at Castle Combe, it has to be one of the best Mini events in my book!

If you remove the valves from a head, is it essential that they are re-ground etc when re-installed or can they just be cleaned then re-installed?

Decoke, check and relap them in is the best way forward

Got rid of the majority of the carbon and the exhaust valves are rather pitted which means the seats are probably knackered too - may as well install unleaded ones haha

Yes unleaded is the way to go if the head is later than about 1988 it will have hard valve seat inserts already and may be possible to reclaimed the valves by having them refaced

Does it have a plug? My bosses just has a 13amp plug, and the fuse in that fails all the time

Its my only car and I have an hour and a half drive to work, Although drivable, it sounds shocking and the rattle is louder than my very noisy little engine/exhaust!
