Sold the old heads and assume the coolant blanking plug (for the side with no temp sensor) was still in them...can anyone lend me one? I'll send a new one your way when I work out where to get them!

Almost sure it's standard M12 thread...ie a bolt.

Think you're right, just struggling to find one to hand and at this point want it 'right'... Hasn't it got a silly little head to clear the exhaust flange?

Once you have used this you will never go back to the Plastc Tape For Engineers (PTFE)

I've been using permatex stuff, but use the loctite sealant at work.
