Wahey............

Burnt the nidnight oil Monday to Wednesday got the head off and had it skimmed. Up early Thursday, got head bak on and started to put bak together...Was putting the manifold on and theres a pipe that attaches to the manifold with a smaller bolt, we tried putting a big un in and cracked a big hole in the manifold :oops: :cry: gamwe over, was 2pm and we had to go.. borrowed old mans transit.

Came bak monday and got a new m :cry: manifold for £10 and sorted it...

All bak and runnin but still puttin out smoke but not asbad, could this be crap in the exhaust?

I was going to have a trip over on Monday but the beer monster got the better of me on Sunday night :D i heard rain stopped play a few times? I was there at the easter bash last year and the hevens opened up big style on the Monday Bank holiday :( Me and the missus were like a pair of drowned Rats :shock:
Good to hear you had a good time and got the van sorted tho :wink:
