Note to self..........
. . .
. before torqueing down the head ALWAYS ALWAYS ensure that nothing like, lets say, the temperature gauge wire and block is not. I repeat, is NOT lying across your new gasket and hanging down in to cylinder number 1 , or you will have to strip the engine down and start again!
That is all.

Ok so this fecking cnut of a vehicle will not give up spoiling my day.
Everything is now back together. Took it for a few miles last night, all appeared well.
Took in to work with me today to do a few things, like final flush of coolant system and refilling with antifreeze etc.
Noticed a bit of smoke blowing from the oil filler when I took the cap off...hm.
I had the car running on and off for agood few hours to check temp didn't rise etc.
Pulled out from the yard, all fine, slowed to round a car then gave it a bit of throttle!! SMOKE belching out the back for about 4 seconds then it clears.
I drive home giving it a bit of welly, bit of smoke here and there. Boot it up a long straight, get to the end,smoke coming from under the bonnet. Closer look I can see oil is ****ing out from somewhere behind inlet manifold area to the rear of the engine bay down on to the exhaust!!!.
Answers and ideas on a postcard please.
