you shouldnt have play in the liners if you take the head off you should bolt the liners down so they dont move........

think you will have to re-bed them now mate

if you bolted them down how did you have movement in them?

not freely had to give it a tug

if the liners are just sat in situ they will have slight play in them. untill the head is bolted down or held securley with bolts and washers that is. watch you dont nip the liner seals moving them about.

Everytime I've taken the head off , 4 times now, there has never been any side play on my liners when they have been bolted down. If there was I would be thinking in the back of my mind what if? But hey that's just me. :) I an pretty paranoid when it comes to these cars. :D
