Now to do the rear head, hopefully if i get my finger out it will be done by this weekend, then i can dump some oil in it, prime it up and get the timing and rocker covers back on, decided to do both covers in satin black with the ridges polished.

Tightening the head bolts on a free standing engine is never going to be easy as you are having to hold the engine still and turn the wrench.

That's not too bad. They say ovens and saucepans are the real giveaways.
