Retrieved the cylinder head yesterday, and fitted it back on (with yet another new gasket) this afternoon. Gingerly re-torqued everything with the new torque wrench (annoyingly calibrated in NMs rather than lb ft, grr, so has to be converted into real money). Managed to catch my finger in the fan with the engine running - doh - fortunately it just gave a finger nail a bit of a pounding, no harm done!
Took it for a test run and seems ok, so thats one more job off the list!

Hi
Glad it is running sweet again!
I bet your finger stung a little, I have just got my thumb caught up in a grinder, but thankfully I had greasy fingers so it didn't burn me, just cleaned the dirt off!
Cheers

Hi
Me too!!
The front is as sound as the rest of it by the looks!
I can see a rather spacious looking garage!
Cheers
