Lol here I go having a wierd day again. Luckily it's not too bad this time... So we towed my car through to Stikland on Saturday to sort the motor out. After about 2hrs we finaly get there. Sunday goes by with no drama. But, today we overslept,had no transport to get parts (gaskets, head bolts etc.) so I phone Masterparts and they deliver. They send head bolts I don't have a spline for, and the cork sump gasket I cant use the splash tray with. So whatever I use old head bolts (tighten more) and old sump gasket with some red devil. Get the head on nicely etc, torque it, now putting the exhaust manifold back on, I was adjusting it at the bottom by the flange under the car, when the pallet jack the car was on suddenly rolled away. Unfortunately the handbrake was on and the car didnt go with... It came down. Even more unfortunately, I was still underneath. The right hand side cross member hit me on the forehead and split the skin open wuite bad. Didn't even cut me, just popped the skin. My head was also lifted to see, so it got smacked against the concrete ground under me too... SO now my heads sore on both sides  10 stitches in front, and a moerse knop on the back...  I'll post a pic when I get them on FB. Now, when we put the motor in, we lost control of the same pallet jack on a hill while usiung it to lower the motor in. It hit the car and put a nice line in my right fender... So what I'm thinking is this, my car just got me back for hurting her? Tipise vrou mens joh...  Now I look like Harry Potter...

Eish guy - sound like a Mr. Bean episode - rather go back to the "old toppie" style and use a bokkie-stand, hope you get well soon - although you sound in good spirit. May I ask what you did to your lady...that she's attacking you? Cheers Boef_73

Lol I got new ones, but don't have the spline socket to use them. Using my old 19mm hex is fine, I added a spring washer to each bolt and torque them 30nm, 90deg, 90deg, warmup, drive, race, burnout, doughnuts, change crank seal, oh sh!te another 90deg... And no problems with head or head gasket. DevinC wrote: Axel stands save lives Looks like your car wants a piece of you..
