Hello, apart from the painting, did you actually do any work to the engine once you took the head off?

hi its off a mini and the advantages are that you have a wiper stalk so you dont have to reach over to the dash

Is the mini column the same length as the minor? and the same fitting to the rack?
Have you had to cut the cowl to get it to fit?
