If you get the rocker cover gasket on the wong way wound ;D it will leak

Yeah that got it! Just seemed to me like it should be shined side up..
Got the piston rings on, pistons on the con rods and then with the help of my other half in zero degree temps (I'm back in a garage) we fitted the barrels relatively trouble free (scrimped on ring compressors and just used my fingernails).
I then fitted the head and torqued down, little worried I might have over torqued slightly as my torque wrench seems past it's best.. but it won't be by much so should hopefully be alright. Got the cam towers on and fitted camshaft, just need to set the timing (which involves reattaching the spark advancer - can't remember how it goes on currently!) and then I can fit the rockers and get her all buttoned up.
In other news I had to remove the rotor cover to check the pistons moved fine after fitting the barrels and one of the bolt heads sheared off leaving about 3cm sticking out the case, not a drama as there should be plenty to grip to get out but just a bit annoying.
May have to leave it there for now as I'm being forced to go to a spa tomorrow.. hate that kind of stuff!

This is useful for the "Graphogen on the carpet" also for getting the smell of puke out of car interiors if you've transported young children. Although I could see too many occurrences of Graphogen on the carpet leading to lacking the opportunity of "practicing" for children. ;)

Cheers bro but brake cleaner got it in the end!

Hope you cross hatched the bores, otherwise it will smoke like a chimney ;D ;D

I would have thought the super slippery stuff in the Graphogen would find its way into the clutch and make that super slippery, or am I over thinking again?

A bit like oil is slippery Mike ;D You only use a wipe of Graphogen... not the whole tube. The tube it comes in is trade use, the new company owners have said, they will start doing smaller tubes soon.
