Can I just send to your normal email. It is the English version of course. Nige.

There is a service called sprend.com that allows sending of big files, if you could use that to my email? Thanks a bunch!

Yes the head to barrel joint is a metal to metal seal so what you see is normal. It has gotten a bit harder to make contact with Limbach since the company changed hands. Some key people left the business beforehand and left a bit of a hole in experienced help. I have the overhaul manual but it is in 3 files and runs to something like 20Meg in total. Do you want me to email it to you given the size? Cheers. Nige.

I just replaced my spark plug threads on 2 and 4 after totally ruining them, probably because of using too little of "Never seize"combined with the damp winter. Lesson learned. Anyway, this was the first time lifting the tops and it looked pretty good, I noticed no cylinder top gaskets were installed, should it be like that? I have mailed Limbach about a service manual but have not received any answers for a two weeks so maybe you guys can help me out? Does anyone have the service manual or such in PDF? I hope to reinstall the engine on Sunday and listen to the sweet sound of Limbach again next week if all goes as planned. Cheers Lasse
