This has been stated here more than once, but I just need to say it ONE MORE time !  You CANNOT re-torque the head bolts on the waterboxer engine BECAUSE you will break the seal of the yellow sealant that was put on between the cap nuts and the head.  It WILL leak coolant afterwards.

      Please note that I will be away from my business travelling from December 01 until April 30, 2017.  Parts orders will be processed although not as quickly as usual.  I will always be available for contact by E-mail.  If you phone your call will be addressed by Steven and he will either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail.  

Cheers,
