cleaned out the sump, silicone'd it on, torqued it up, then took sump back off as like a numpty I torqued the main caps in nm instead on ftlb multi layer gasket and head stud conversion to cope with the compression hike head has standard size valves and mild porting job 2nd hand fast road cams fitted, not the profile I wanted but new cams and valve springs to cope with the extra lift are too expensive modified chain tensioner to prevent chain jumping coming of throttle from high revs and were ready to fit
