You're welcome Tony - a very productive day. thumbup
Just to put others in the know, we replaced the head gaskets on Tony's Gen1 yesterday and fitted nice new Cometic ones.
Changed the busted thermostat too.
Not quite enough time though to finish the job and fire-her-up.
"Keep us posted Tony." thumbup

No problem Tony it was a pleasure. As you say a long day but good progress made to get the beast back on the road.

All back together now but having changed the headers for Gen 2 tubular I realised they have a different connector to the elbows. Does anyone have a pair of v ring connectors kicking about.
