cool the head had been sat dry on a stool in my garage since i took it off in the summer only just got it all back in and started up last weekend.
annoying thing is that i had to switch it off after half a minute cuz i realised i had a pin hole leak in the metal water pipe that goes to the turbo. so didnt get a chance to hear if the tapping would settle

off with the manifold again to replace the leaking pipe
