Hertfordshire Lanes?????

from what dave has said the head was good but he got it skimmed anyway. Its now distorted because he fitted a dowl locating pin that wasn too long preveemmting the mating faces to mate and by torqing down the head deformed it. Or have i got this wrong?

Yes Jai, this is my assumption. When turning it over, it's as if there is no head attached. No compression resistance from any of the cylinders. I'm mighty fekked orf to be honest. Something that should have been so simple has turned into something so fking annoying.... And getting more expensive...

you did put the valves back in disn't you Lol only joking i dunno what you can do rip it off and ave a look see whats goin on see if the gasket has been compressed evenly or not.

looking forward to next saturday guys, first time i have been out with you lot in a while! be good to catch up. i won't be in my motor, will be shotgun with someone else, but oh well, be good to see some friendly faces!

Feel like throwing it away to be honest. Gonna wait a month before i do anything about it, otherwise irrational arguement will make the decisions for me...

Has anyone scouted out a new pub meet for Wednesday?
White Lion (Chalk Hill, N. Dunstable) seems like a good possibility to me, large carpark, newly refurbed.
Any thoughts?

Hi Boys

Brett you got room for another on the 8th ? My 90 is now damaged enough to go laning

Ok, Just been out on a little recce of the Grafham lanes, some of them Have temporary TRO's on them for "repairs" I know one of the lanes got closed early last year, Not sure of the reason why, But there was no damage to the lane, and The CCC website says that it is still seasonal, so who knows! Just thought i'd let you know So that you can formulate a plan for the 8th. I shall Pop out tomorrow and see what others are open and what ones are not and report to you all at the pub meet on Wednesday.

Hey fella... consider yourself invited! Brett's away for the moment but I am sure he would have said the same!

Ok guys... pub meet this coming wednesday... I am suggesting the Pckhorse on the A5 just south of dunstable.... would this be ok?

isnt that pub really small inside?

I think the white lion seems promising defo worth a look see.

Chalkhill Kinda seems big enough that other meet we had in Redbourne was tiny and was no good for us at all.

If we can get a definate location then I will forward details to the club somone might be able to come along and bring some club info/event details. Jai

White Lion looks worth checking out. Packhorse is a bit small.
