    Hi Ben i have the same pump on mine and it does run all  the time,i have fitted a cut off switch under the dash so i can switch the pump off if i need to do any work on the car with ignition on.

    Don’t forget to clean the block surface before you refit the head David.The best way to do this is with wd40 and fine emery cloth,but first put absorbent paper in each bore as you clean so it catches any fluid and bits of carbon.Just do it slowly and gently till you get through to clean metal.

    Hi David

    Glad to see you managed to remove the head,the carbon build up does not look to bad from the pictures. The best thing in my mind would be to do 1 piston at a time turn the engine so the piston your are doing is below the bore then put the grease around the bore then turn the engine so the piston is back at the top you can then lightly clean the piston (don’t scrape it) I would use a little brake cleaner just to loosen the carbon then wipe of with a cloth.Then turn the engine so the piston is below the top of the bore and wipe the grease off making sure nothing falls into the bore,then repeat on the other cylinders.
