Its mostly bolt on stuff as the rest was already done. but yeah the joys of it all is becoming stressful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im aware how fiddly they can be. Hence my comment that engine out feels a little extreme. ^That was not ment to come across with any sort of tone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needed about 20mm twist to get the piping to line up right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
