    Well, I;ve had the head off this thing.
     

     
    At first i thought it was suffering a bit of fire ring damage:
     

     
    Bit after a proper good clean up I was chuffed to find that actually the head surface was totally mint.
     

     

     
    I ummed and ahhed about buying a payen gasket as my feeling is that would probably be a better solution overall. Plus, I realised that the 2 months tax still in the window was still valid so i sent it off for a cash-in, which will liberate £40 or so and cover the cost of a new gasket. But in the end i decided f**k it, mainly for the reason that I had the MLS gasket sat there and waiting for a new one to arrive would probably end up in a 2-week delay to this thing running again. So this evening I have braved some proper shitty weather and chucked the cylinder head back on, torqued it up carefully (in 4 stages rather than the usual 2), timed it up and put the belts back on.
     

     
    Like a fat-knuckled cretin I slightly damaged one corner of the new HG (just above the watre pump) while manhandling the head into place so I stooped to a new low and put a bit of instant gasket on the damaged bit of the head gask, no doubt it will piss coolant out of there or something but we'll see.
     
    With a bit of luck, if I get a quiet evening tomorrow or Friday I might have it running again which would be nice!!!!!

    A lot of the 'flash' gang don't like it when you're on their back wheel on an old or unfashionable bike. I followed a bloke the other day on a very nice road bike and he kept trying to go faster, despite obviously being knackered, as I was on a mountain bike and I don't think it's the done thing to be overtaken. I've had a few in the past who've mysteriously* suddenly decided to stop and check their phone.
