Hi
Fitted the helicoil with some stud lock..
Made a stud out of some stainless steel rod
Put some thread lock on that, screwed it up feels nice and tight but we will see if it leaks or not..
Need to get some exhaust gaskets before I fire it up... might be a week or so as I've got the carbs out to change the rubbers as they were in a right state..
Removed the cam chain tensioner while the carbs are off as it sounds a be rattling.
Just as I removed it the Mrs made me jump and I drop it so lost count of the number of notches it had :eek
Also going to check the valve clearance while I'm at it ...
So got a bit to do...
Thanks chaps
