Strong smell of petrol coming from the right hand carb. No side of any l leaks and I looked under to the fuel pump. No damp patches under the car. I had to fill with E10 the last 2 times could it be that evaporating?

Spent a riveting 3 hours with my 6 heads listening to an equally mind knumbing Smooth Radio scraping and polishin and then again prepping the heads for their twin plug machining.

I see you have the unequal stud length design ..... hmm ..... IF you were serious about weight loss (like I know someone is !) - then , assuming the flange is a constant thickness , and the short ones work ... then why would you not make them all short ?
... and I don't want any lame excuse like it makes assembly easier if there is a long stud to hang them on.
What you should be really focusing on is : what is the tie up of the port diameter to the exhaust manifold diameter ? If they are the same and there is clearance on the exhaust stud to flange hole diameter - what alligns them ? (and one cannot assume that everything centralises !) It's that attention to detail that finds the odd horsepower or two ??
time I was back in a garage !
Royal Enfield .. still in India
GL 1800 Tour DCT, for pleasure / Fantic 240 Professional - play
Rally 911 (1966) build parked for a while
Rally 928 (work started again - inc serious weight loss programe !)
.... and now another VW Up GTI owner.
If I had your patience just maybe I could focus on those details!
The port and tube dia's are the same, and if the flanges are right might even be concentric!
The headers are diy in a cold garage, I never contemplated having the pipe extend beyond the flange into the recess of the port.
They are almost equal length mind.

Sounds good - not sure where the idea of extending the pipe came from ?(last thing I would do ! ... approx)
If it's DIY , then it's probably close to correct ...... it's the mass produced stuff I would be concerned about.
have fun

Ha, yes that was a bit random! Good to see you though.
Front bumper back on. Moment of panic when the holes didn't line up but I've put the brackets on the wrong sides

Back on too. Unfortunately, the bumpers are a little brighter than the car but much improved
