While I have never worked on a TR7, let alone pull the head, it
looks infinitely more complicated that that of your std. A-series
Spridget, of which unfortunately I have pulled heads off of *several*
times. For reference, the two times I've pulled the head off of 1098s
(both friend's cars I'd never worked on before, one to change a valve &
the other a head gasket), neither time took more two people more than 4
hrs and 6 beers.
cheers-

Vaughan,
This morning I read the adventures of an Australian SOLer at the races.
It took them not even a day (rather hours?) to pull the head, change the
valve and (not quite machine it but) work on the valve seat and get it
going again - if I remember correctly. I was quite impressed. I know it
shouldn't take much longer, but why does it actually take usually so
long?
Maybe you have in your TR7 a different setup, i.e. maybe an OHC ?
At least this should remind us that after all it shouldn't be a big deal.
Cheers,
Gus
