    Going to change cambelt on my 2.0ltr 8v bora car done 160,000 miles so thought i would do a decoke cos i got a slight miss on 1 cylinder done plugs leads and coil so last thing to do is valves cnt think of what else it could be. Any advice on changing belt and removing head would be appreciated, also is it worth fitting iridium plugs

    So rather than do a fault code read you were going to pull the head off….

    It would probably need guides as well but just the valve oil seals can be done without removing the head if you have access to a compressed air supply and the special tools.
