Well it was a lot more work than i was ready for, the timing chain tensioner popped out in the process of putting the head back on and I had to pull the front off the engine to put it right, Aarrrgh!

Also thought i would get the head back with cam and rockers all assembled, I was wrong.

A friend is building a new megabuck L18 for his 180b with 50mm throttle bodies etc.

He paid $700 each carb not a year ago... tripper.
