:laugh: Cheeky in fact done mine last night to 45nm :agree: might be worth packing the oil pump with molygrip grease, white lithium grease or vaseline, as it will help prime better which is the problem I am having at the mo, my sump has been of 3 times in the last 2 days and coming off again so I can pack it as I am getting no oil pressure
