Just waiting for a new torque wrench to arrive as I expect my current one has had it.
Am I likely to run into leaky head gasket issues if I end up backing off a few of the fixings, it's probably not massively over tightened but I don't want to warp anything..

Got some Graphogen and plastigauge. Going to do a proper job this time.

Anyone able to advise on this?
Trigger:
Reverse torque pattern about quarter of a turn and then re torque.

After another busy spell at work I've got the next 10 days to do a bit of work on the bike. I'm currently in the process of buying a house which is seriously eating up all my money so will just be doing what I can for now. Unfortunately I can't afford to get bits powder coated right now so reassembly may still be a way off.. but I'll get there!
As far as I remember, when I left the lump I had the cylinder head on but hadnt got the cam shaft on properly as I didn't have the contact breaker assembly on to mark the timing. It's been a while now since I took it apart - how the heck does this go back on??
Just as a look forward I'm trying to tally up future costs to help me budget, I'd like the wheels to be powder coated satin black (spokes and all). Is this finish likely to damage when adjusting the spokes?
