PErfect. Thanks for the encouragament
I'll do the exhaust swap probably in a couple of weeks whaen time allows... Hopefully the bolts open without too much of hassle.
I have done several engines, including changing exhaust bolts but those previous ones have been steel blocks (not aluminium)e

I've also had to go back and forth a few times.
