i feel like such a tit

after endless pissing about with the camshaft trying to refit it in different ways you will never guess what was making that sound...

the sodding exhaust manifold lol

the two bottom nuts werent nearly as tight as what they should have been! tightened them up and it sounded normal again! so bloody relieved..

engine sounded very tappety although i suppose it needs a good drive with some load on it to warm the oil up etc?

my only worry now is that i still had steam coming from the zorst after a minute or so of idling :-( i'm hoping it's just water collected in the silencers etc but i can't help but worry that the HG has been done wrong or something?
