True...but it isn't going to be on there for hours, so any potential damage would be minimal. Get your toothbrush out and work in the Mr Muscle, then leave it for 30 mins.

I used Carb Cleaner to rinse it all away...and lots of it. I think I used at least a couple of cans. Worth it though.

yep..

mr muscle and low number polish paste works good..

Good job

[Tab]

mission accomplished!!!

all together 9 hours it took, fitted the new gaskets and put it al back together, fired up first time

went for a drive to drop my dads tools off( about ten miles) and no leaks

there is a bit of smoke but i'm thinking that's just the old oil on the exhaust.

i'm so chuffed that me and the missus managed to do this, probably the biggest job i've ever done on a car.

thanks for the help people

[Elite Pete]

Time for you and the misses to put your feet up and have a well earned beer

[gstylebaby]

Brilliant Tab. Less than 2 months since you joined the forum and look what you've done. What a great start to the new year.
