And dont leave spanners sitting like that on your battery - if they get knocked and hit both terminals at once they make a HELL of a mess :shock: :shock: :shock:

I usually soak them in CRC/WD40 as well as upper cylinder lube at intervals - then you can give them a gentle tap with the hammer until they free. never had a problem with this before, but worst case if you can't unstick one you'll need to pull the head off.

I will give you a call for some advice :)

Hi Steve, the family are really pleased with the progress you're making after having the car sit in the shed for nearly thirty years. Cheers, Helen

Hello Helen, missed your post. Apologies on the delayed reply. Happy to hear you guys are happy! :)

We haven't done too much more, due to the EK's 50th, getting all the attention before the Nationals and the All Holden Day.

Will be back onto the Fernando in August. I will keep updating the pics!

Take care,

Steve
