Erratic running

[Mike Farmer]

 

Just a point on bolts 'bottoming out'.

I had the situation, self inflicted with a 'blow' front RH side of head. Retorqued started motor still blowing. Removed head checked to ascertain head and barrell were good--yep  :'Annealed gasket. Refit, re-torque still blowing. Removed the head dug around with a screw driver in all the bolts holes. rubbish in the front RH corner bolt hole. Cleaned, flushed (this gets boring). Bolted up, started--- solved--- as I said self inflicted. It really is a B when you cant find anyone to blame.

Interesting info guys. I will have to be more thorough, like yourself Mike and make sure everything is perfect. I did have problems annealing the gasket. I have an electric cooker, so had to try annealing with a blow torch but I just couldn't really get it to the desired colour as I have in the past on the old gas ring.
