Front head is back on!, i must be getting old or christmas has taken it tole as the head tightening sequence took some doing thats for sure. photo(91) by Deanxm, on Flickr photo(90) by Deanxm, on Flickr photo(89) by Deanxm, on Flickr
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.
Having said that, you are now getting a bit long in the tooth, Dean.
