I'm bored, waiting to be picked up.

I have a gasket to make. I saved the frosties box from the bin and I'm going home to cut it into a gasket for the cam cover on the white one. I will takle pics, last gasket I made from a cereal box was a gear box end plate gasket on a cavalier.

Watched Constantine today, ok but not the best film i have seen.

because I don't have any and I have a great hate of using sealant where it shouldn't be used.

The last muppet (round the corner) stuck a new gasket on with sealant. Also used a few bolts that were to short and theres sealant stuck in the threaded holes to hold th ecam cover on. I still need to clear the rest of the crap off the carriers and cam cover so it will seal right.

Also cos its a ph1 19 and I haven't fitted a rain shield its easier to remove the came cover to get rid of the oil and water thats in there.

the frosties box is thicker than the actual gasket you get. Does the job, its not a permanent solution, just temporary, howeve rif it behanes it will probably become permanent!

Yes they are set to A in the bios, troubel is they go so far and 1 has linux on it despite me messing around formatting the drive and fdisk crap (talking the HD here) but it doesn't like it. Also I can't seem to get any OS that actually works properly, every cd is wrong or ther 5th floppy is dodgy and so on.

Yeah, I always had that problem with the floppy disks. The only way I found worked with out one borking was to use brand new ones. I have actually removed my floppy drive now as all the operating systems I have on CD boot from the CD. Much easier and quicker. I have made myself a self booting XP Pro CD with service pack 2. Could always send one to you if you have an XP code?
