I saw that one coming. <grin> Glad you caught it. Are you installing the 1.8 head currently installed, onto your new ABA? Would've been a shame to harm it. Thinking about it now, I would be wise to make a list of what work I've done, and actually physically check off each item to make sure they're done. Up til now, I've found that simply standing there and pointing to each item and mumbling "yup. done" to myself suffices. Speaking of missing bolts (image):
