Hi Peeps..Went to see leigh earlier and tried removing the snapped allen head rocker cover bolt..The bugger wouldnt budge..Drilling..Didnt work..Impact screwdriver..Didnt work..Welding a nut on it..Didnt work..Ended up leaving it in as it was taking forever just on that..My tappetts sounded pretty quiet so i guess it just needed a run out..Re-tapped the rest of the existing threads and torqued the set screws in at the correct torque..Had a nice drive out but on the way back had some tt and his boyfriend right up the tail end of me at 50mph+ and had to say something when i stopped at the lights..They backed off after a gob full of obscenities..Cheers mate..Ziga
