That's annoying

you'll have to invest in some cometics from Wil.It won't be just head gaskets you're breaking as you start to go faster

...as diagnosed by Kev and me

I seem to remember talking to somebody about torqueing the heads on Saturday at Shakey...now who was that Simon?
Sorry mate, couldn't resist!
Glad you got the old girl home in one piece though.
