“Lofoti” or “Michael goes to Norway”

First time I have used a copper one and it was untight right away. Probably it was not heated correctly.
Will give it a try again later as they can be reused.
Actual gasket is from an Athena gasket set.

I think I have to let cylinder and head to be face-grinded (maschined to be flat and parallel).
[Very hard for me to describe that in english language, pardon for the mistakes in that sentence]

Will not start that action before our trip.
Some steam cleaning will help 😉

Cheers, Michael

Hi Lonesome Twins,
we are back from Norway and have a lot to tell 😉
I have already started to post pics and stories at: http://www.caferacer-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=12374&start=80
Hope you can see that.
Comments are in german language.

Here the pic and the situation I love most:
Looking at the “Midnight Sun” and let it shine into my face, exactly fifty years after I was born.

Cheers, Michael
