Title: ok, so what did i forget?
Post by: Gaffers on 11 July 2011, 17:34:15
Many on here know that I can be a star forgetful, esp when I am tired.  So after a long day working on the head swap project yesterday what key component/components did I forget to fit?

Answer will be revealed at 2200 hrs.  In theeantime have a laugh at my expense while you guess what it was ;D

Not too bad then, did something similar when I was fitting 3.0 cams to mine,had the camsprocket bolts on finger tight when I realised it would be a good idea to fit the cam seals first, doh..... :-?
