Done. 14 days. (bonus points: fixed a couple of gas leaks in the process) Leak checked with air, using: -bicycle pump; -schrader valve (liberated from a broken bicycle inner tube) and screw clamp; -spare section of bleed line (GW 8x3.5 hose) connected to the vent line manifold; -nylon clamp plier to pinch-off the LH head vent, disconnected from the vent line manifold. Thanks, all, for your comments. Now dreaming: Alloy rims, oil temperature sensor, oil cooler, frame-mounted hitch, minor body work. gab |
