Its because people, instead of spending 50p, re use the alloy sealing washer so many times it deforms badly and the bolt is tightened even more again and again and again
That is annoying! But very common for people to seize it up (or seal it up) to stop it leaking rather than invest in a new sealing washer. I think a good heat and give it wellie. It’s not going to come out otherwise.
inlet manifolds are fitted wrong, screws for vacuum gauge pipes should face outwards
Thanks a lot, It is VHT Cast Aluminium paint - https://www.frost.co.uk/vht-cast-aluminium-engine-enamel-high-temperature-paint-312ml/ It probably isnt the same as the original Honda finish but I like the colour and finish and it is easy to apply. Used it before and it is holding up really well on my GL1000, Ken
