Great news!

Be very careful/accurate when you put the pyramid rings and head gasket in place, check for proper seating of the rings in the head before final assembly.

(you probably knew this already, but you can never be to shure

)

Andreas included a paper on the process of install the rings. When the time comes for assembly i will check in with you guys again to make sure its right
