Well i got the heads off, yes one cylinder was clean, must have been all the water in there. New head bolts are on there way £2.00 each(had to ask in one of my posts why), head gaskets £40 for the two. head skim £60 for the six pots. About £50 for the rest of the gaskets with intake upper and lower in that, spark plugs £22, oil asda(walmart) £20 5ltr full synthetic oil filter £4. I don't think thats bad for a diy'er with a small box of tools, if you want to play with a s-type get a dam good 8mm and 10mm (just like ford). Come to think of it all the gaskets are ford (well well).
Ok just got to rebuild it when all the parts have come, that sould be more fun and then i will find out if this is a diy car.
replace a sill next, because the last owner could not read where to put the wheel jack.
I was going to put some pics on but dont know how.

well the heads came back from the shop bang on price £60 uk.
Started today rebuliding just had a hour one head back on, the chain tensioner was a bit of a pain reseting it, so not that bad up to now.
my night time reading for the last week has been jtiss,
Its around 20years since i played with engines and i dont think this one is
particulary hard well not as much as i was expecting.

i dont know, this was how it was when i got the cat. when i picked it up it did seem to run fine but i had a steam room following me, got home and there was a water leak that had been there for some time. i think the head over heated. reading the forum it does happen. also the cat has over 180000 miles on the clock.
