Hi Mates,
Long day has now ended in my garage. Belive it or not, but the car is back
on the road. As I have never used theese doomed plugs, I bought an extra
months ago. Lucky the front one came out, soo it was possible to install the
new one and hit it with a bar from the wheel bay. No problems on the test
yet, though I was carefull this time with the throttle.
I have also retorqued the cylinderhead and reset the valve gaps.
I had some unexpected problems with my new steering wheel. It did not fitted
on the splines. I has to file the grooves one by one to get it on. Still a
bit tight. Anybody ever encountered such problem?
