Re: C/H plug insert size?
Same as mine Phil except my capillary had a male thread that went straight into the head without an adaptor.

Re: Cylinder head problems? Never fear.
Very good. If the same processes were undertaken in the UK the health and safety guys would have a field day :roll: They were in 60s and early 70s no body bothered too much, hence knackered hip, knees and back. Lifted many of those truck cylinder heads without help :roll: Used to stand along side t...

Re: Difficult bolt removal.
