*&^%$#@!
Bloody Brit Bike Builders using crappy Chinese hardware!
(Breathing in and out in controlled breaths, after slinging a wrench across the garage, and having to go find it)
So I have the 1050 engine back in the bike. But now I have to pull the head!
As I am installing the headers, one header stud snaps off in the head. Time to pull the head back off and extract the broken stud.
Now I need to find a set of metric studs and new lock nuts. Maybe ARP has some grade 5 or 8 in stainless or nickel plate.
Two steps forward, and one step back. :violent1:
Will SOMEONE please tell the bean-counters at triumph they have made my list, and are welcome to visit at any time. (sarcastic and threatening one) :finger:
