    Shotgun License

    Depends on which force you are processed under, Dorset normally took 4-8 weeks after the visit to issue the license. I know they are taking a few months at the moment for FAC renewals which has caused problems with a few members of our club where their licenses have expired !

    You need the cam on the highest point when setting up the injectors. Did you change the rocker cover gasket as they sometimes leak at the back from the half moon shape bit or put some gasket goo round that bit to stop it.
