You put Hylomar Blue inboard of the bolt holes all the way around? The bolts don't tighten much so might take a little more of a nip up after the engine has cooled.
Last time i did it, sealed fine! Just put rtv as per rave
I'll try tightening before i go any further

Fitted my new mud flap kit on my L405. Taking my newly refurbished 21 inch rims to have new tyres fitted later and then slow time swap them over with the off coming 21 inch plain silver rims/tyres. Not sure yet what to do with those!! keep as a spare set or sell them on to recoup some dosh back. They have new tyres on them too. Only done 250 miles. Had to ring DVLA as my logbook has still not arrived after 15 days and they said online 3-5 days so they are issuing another to me and once that arrives i can assign my private plate and start using her once all my other bits are fitted.
Still got some of my P38 stuff left to sell on. Its going slowly but i really need the floor space now i have the L405 in the cave. Its bloody big. LOL

Took the beast for a good run this morning as after I pick up the long haired colonel from her work tonight its back on the axel stands for god knows how long but its for a good reason. Finally after 7 months at home I am getting back to work. It's also a new chapter for me as its a new job and it will be my first job back in the UK for 15 years, I am a bit worried as I just don't know if i will fit in any more but i am looking forward to a pint or ten of John Smiths and to be able to make a proper sandwich. Obviously not making the sandwich's after the John Smiths. Any way i might not be around for a while but as i am billy no mates i might be,

No patting female employees on the bottom or petting, although the male employees might like it. Wetherspoons is your venue of choice or you'll need a second job to pay for the drink. Remember to stand to attention and salute whenever Her Majesty is shown on the telly and at closedown, although you will be waiting a long while for that - enough time to slip another pint in.

Go to work mate, do your job, go home and collect your wages each week/month. That's my motto. Fitting in is a bonus but not essential as your not living with your work pals.

I was always taught, with anything on an alloy engine, torque it up when you put it together, leave it overnight and torque it again, it'll usually go noticeably tighter. Then run it for a bit, let it cool and repeat.
Definitely the case on my Guzzi - if you put the head back on and torqued, then ride it for 150 miles and recheck, all the 32lb/ft nuts are barely finger tight!

Towed a new caravan down to my Aunts place for her, seeing as her Toyota Rav is in a million pieces..
don't really know what fangled material these caravans are made of but at some points according to my passenger the caravan wheels were floating off the ground on some stretches of fast A roads, bloody thing is so light and narrow you forget its there!

Hmm its quite common leak point, issues can range from a bad gasket especially if its a blue box special or the surface of the sump is less than stellar..
A coat of RTV on the sump side of the gasket can eliminate the leak, "can" being the operative term
Only really since i took the sump off to check the big ends, will try tightening again, if not then i have a spare gasketHmm its quite common leak point, issues can range from a bad gasket especially if its a blue box special or the surface of the sump is less than stellar..
