    Hmmm!
    The list of parts seems to be bigger than I'd first imagined

    Seems like it always works out that way Andy.
    I know it does when I figure it's a simple/cheap job.

    Pushing my luck.......Too far again!

    I knew I needed new manifolds/risers and had them on order, but got the itch the other weekend and went out with some friends



    When I de-winterised the motor the rusty water and Bits of rust that got blown out was bad!!!



    Everything was going fine until I went for a high speed run. The rusty manifolds blocked the risers and the increase in water pressure split the cooling pipe. The reduced water flow in the exhaust cooked the rubbers!

    All very dramatic at the time

    They will certainly help
    But not planning on fitting them ATM.
    I want to have the time to do it properly, and not rush the job......
    Which at this time of year will probably happen!
