This is a real ball ache because if I have to remove the head to sort it out i've wasted almost £100 worth of gasket and bolts! Not a good start!
Any idea's people who have done this, Gary, Rick, etc?
Thanks!
Welcome back lol I have missed your threads. Are you using blacktop or st170 springs in a black top head?
