while im putting a new gasket in, i think i will helicoil this thread. the cover is held down with 16 bollts, the rear outside one has been drilled out through the head, a bolt goes through and a nut goes on the end. i believe this can be done in situ, with the tank off, AM I RIGHT GUYS
its the left hand outside rear thread on the head. the relay guy said it can be done in situ.

No problem in doing that , if you don,t have an M6 Helicoil set I can lend you one with the appropriate Helicoil if you want.

Mick.
Glad to hear you meant cam cover gasket.
If you want one PM me your address and I'll send you a new one.
I can send you the M6 Helicoil kit along with the 6,3mm drill bit,it comes with full instructions and really is a piece of piss to fit,simple.
Let me know.
Regards
Steve
