Hit a snag with this while trying to finish it of in the rain yet again, can never get a break, we
have now fitted the new rad and boxed off the coolant system, old rad was falling to bits but
it has a bad oil leak, The 'Steve' neglected to add seam sealer to the cam rail, this is what
happens when you give a gorilla a hammer and put him in a glass room.

So at some point next week the cams are out to fit it all properly, will update with photos then,
I had a faff on Monday evening and stripped down the rocker of coil packs and accessories. :D

1234dist was omnipresent and assisted via phone as I am a muppet. :laughing2

The question is only difficult if you don't know the answer

Use a 'anaerobic' sealant on cam ladder , this means it only cures when it is starved of air so any sealant you get in the oilways will not go off .
