bit of a bitch man lots of shoving into place with the help of a few mates to hold pipes in place ect. it fits but the drivers side of the cooler sat out heaps more than the other side, had to cut the reo a fair bit, every1 said it lookd fine and they couldnt notice but i was a fusy **** lol

ye i was gona clean out the bores with some brake cleaner and then give them a coat in oil, and cover it up so the bores dont rust. I was going to carefully scrape the remainer of the head gasket off, and make sure none goes down the water jackets and oil gallaries. whats something good to use to flush the jackets and gallaries out?
