That bastard water pipe !

[mark g]

Yep it was well lubed up prior to trying to get it in, anybody who's had the engine oout would have had to have taken this pipe off at some point I would imagine?, both the Haynes and the genuine yam manual are pretty much useless, it was a pig to get the pipe out when I stripped it TBF, I was even thinking of filing a leading edge on the pipe to see if that easier.
