Hi Gazza,
I thought you'd have that VL back together and ½ flogged to death by now mate :-)
I take it that the old head was too expensive to get welded?
I must admit that I got caught up with other stuff and forgot to scan those pages from the VL

Yep, do a couple or three oil fill and drain cycles VERY close together. Go to KMart or somewhere and buy a cheap (but not too thin) oil until you reckon you have all the old gunk out. Don't forget the oil filter too.
For the coolant in the motor...hmm

You're welcome Gazza. That's why a lot of us hang around here...to help others and to learn new stuff ourselves.
Cheers...Dave
