Head fitted

I fitted the new head, using the new oil ladder and head bolts.
I found out that the new oil ladder requires higher torque for the head bolts, so I will have to retighten them. My manual says 20Nm, the new bolts should be tightened to 30Nm. Edit: Done!
I also fitted the rear cam belt cover that came off the spare engine, and has no hole in it, plus, there's a heatshield to prevent it happening again. Presumably it is heat from the exhaust that melts the plastic.


The new cam cover got a bit of a clean and was plonked on the new head to see how it might look. I may highlight the lettering and Lotus logo later.
