a few questions about this:

* when I had the dizzy stripped down, I could turn the arm no probs really freely, but when I built it back up, before I bolted it back onto the head I turned it but it was quite stiff - is this normal?

* is there meant to be an oil seal between the head/dizzy?

Cheers

Did you fit new seals inside it?

Yes there is meant to be a large O-ring it'll piss oil out otherwise
