Proper seized ... !

yeh a good dent in the wallet dude ! although considering what happened to stay this side of 500 sheets was a relief !!

The 'mod' he mentioned was something to do with a double bearing or double width ? sorry if im talkin tripe i didnt really memorise what he said.
I also forgot to ask whether he checked the valve clearances as i havent done them yet ...

Anything i need to do on first startup ? take it easy for first 3 hours or just go for it ?

Lol Taff, i know what ya mean but as long as the insides are spangly i can handle a missing screen bolt. I cant hold him to it as i never checked it before i left his garage so it may have 'fallen' out on the way to the car, in the car or on its way into my garage. Damn sure it was there when i took it to him though. I remember specifically leaving the screen out on purpose and cant imagine id leave the bolt out because i hate thinkin some crap could get into my engine. i blocked all the holes with rag before i took it to him. Either way im just happy to have it back and happy with the service/comms
