Not sure I'd call it hard work, more like 3rd hand Ikea furniture without the instructions :D

But they had reliability issues.

The sump is now on. It's a spare as the drain plug was stripped in Lito's.

Tomorrow morning I'll be doing the belt and water pump, as well as dropping the head back on.

Yeah good old ultratune with the sump plug, ive wrestled with it twice now, next move was a piggie back, that would be the go, but if you have a sump all good. Carlos be sure to come round after she is hummin
