Thanks Chaps - very kind words (and Emojis
)
I do have a confession to make - I did make one huge blunder.
I didn't put any sort of sealant on the head studs when I put them in.
As a result I had a water fountain running out of all the head nuts.
So.... off with the heads again and remove, clean and refit all 48 of them.
I used a sealant I luckily already had. I previously used it to seal the LPG lines on my ute.
It was expensive from memory, but it is the bee's knees.
