Re: Cleaning the head, any advice please
Sory mate, I did not read the post thoroughly.
Jetwash??
I did once leave a piston in a jacket pocket prior to a wash in the washing machine. It made a very worrying noise as it went round, clunk, clunk, thud. but it did come out very clean, not something that I would do deliberatly though

Re: Aprillia RS125 smallie engine
Nice,
but from my experiance if it`s nice you need an alarm. Don`t get caught out like I did.
