Well... phase 1 is finished...! :dance: Everything except the heads is off now... no dramas... expcept for the sump emptying faster than my draining can could fill... :doh: So a bit of moopping up required there!
One thing I did notice... last thing I did before knocking off for the night was try to undo the head bolts... thy were pretty damn tight... :-k :? I didn;t try too hard but a long breaker bar was used and still all I got was a couple of very small "Crack" noises with very little movement... :shock: Can someone re-assure me that this is normal... and maybe offer an advice..?
The good news was that the rockers and all the gubbins around them look clean and healty... as did all the spark plugs... only problem I found was on the carbs... the linkage that sends the choke setting to the second carb was undone and the bar was hanging free... :roll: No wonder cold mornings have been a b****r!
Anyway... I'll check back later for advice and I'll get some snaps tommorow when my hands are clean!

'bum, this is normal :P
basically they are special bolts (dont reuse them) they stretch and are extra tight (very tight torque settings) and if they never been undone then very very tight!!
dont worry bout it, just be gentle and go slowly...

Righ... spinach for breakfast then....! :pale:
