Many thanks to all of you who have be kind enough to offer your valued advice and opinions in my hour of need.
I've yet to have the time to test my findings but will report back when I have.
Like you Ian, I have a lot of respect for Ruairidh, and if he is willing to offer me any help I will always gratefully accept
and act on it.
I do not believe that there is any problem with using the copperslip, I do however think that I was wrong in not rechecking the head nut torque values after another long run.
As Andy suggested earlier, I will now religiously check them on a far more frequent basis.
At the end of the day however, if I do have to remove the head again for any reason, then with the presence of copperslip
on the gasket and studs at least it should come of easily! (Not on the threads however.)
Once again, thank you to all.
Graham.
