What model is your 206?
I changed a head in about 3-4 hours the first time I did it. Stripping everything back takes the time, it can be done quite quickly. The time consuming bit is getting the head skimmed (if needed, but recommended). It can be done yourself (or your boyfriend/dad) if you're not too bad with spanners and a Haynes book.
I'll see if I can find the pictures I took when I did mine, was almost a step by step photo walkthrough. |
Those pictures would be great if you can find them for me!
It's a Peugeot 206 Lx 1999 - just feel its a shame when i havent had it for too long, want to give it a fighting chance! |
What size is the engine? |
Sorry missed that out.. its a baby 1.1

Well I've cleaned the gunk now and don't really want to run it so that it's steaming/over flowing again as I'm afraid I'll cause more damage... Going to sort the head gasket 'myself' (with a little help from someone who knows more than I do of course!) and then see where it goes from there I think.

The head skimming takes the time. I did a mates Rover and by the time I had the head off, took the valves out, taken to the machine shop (who had it for a week) re-ground the valves, replaced the valve stem oil seals, rebuilt his car, he decided that he didn't need it and bought a push bike instead.
