Phew....

Well, I managed to get the heads on yesterday, and I was dreading torquing down the heads, because any stripped threads, would have been a disaster in my timing. Well good news,  I managed to torque down firstly the barels (27NM), and then the heads (nuts 24NM and small bolts 12NM) - if my memory serves me correctly. I hope reusing the cylinder heads gaskets does not prove to be a foolish move.....

I will change the jets on the carbs to 240 this evening in preparation for my return from vacation.

The last big job will be to fit the ZXR radiator, but I can always fall back on the RG one if I don't have time before the 7th March.
