Thanks Fred!

I'm glad someone has a memory for these things around here :-)

Cheers,

torque listed in the picthure for #7, 6mm bolts, which is in the chart in the
front listed as 9 N-m, 7 Ft-Lbs.

(http://www.douglasvanbossuyt.com/2010/01/09/the-trouble-with-tappets/). It's
really an easy job. Just don't screw up like me :-)

http://www.directcon.net/lcshepp/PC800SMPage8-2.html you will be able to replace
the plugs. Note that one of the torque specs on that page is wrong (if I
remember correctly). I think it's #8 and it should be something more like 21
N-m... The correct value is in the front of the manual. Does anyone else know
if I'm remembering that correctly?
