I'll bet you've made sure your granny knows how to suck eggs really well, haven't you?

Online order, using reg = wrong parts = rubbish system.

Now, go and use your ETOS or ETKA on your own.

DH - Rocker cover gasket should be in the head gasket kit that JP of JNL Racing is supplying me.

If I do need anything else I will try those Bristol guys

Suppliers hey!!   

b.t.w I use a system called tecdoc which is connected to all the major brands and is quite accurate (although it's 10p a reg search so I look things up manually usually)

Catcams said they had two people off sick so held up production!
They obviously dont keep much stock!

[Len]

Picking the head up on Wednesday!

Then the fun begins!

Been told to use full mineral oil for running in as a synthetic has detergent in and will cause the bores to glaze and the rings wont bed in properly. A 10/40 type

Any comments?

[boneybradley]

I was always told the same, new engines needs a lower quality oil (ok lower spec) to let them bed in correctly. the only time where a bit of friction is really needed

oh and len I have a box of bits sat here waiting for you, I will get them out a.s.a.p
