It's alive!
Amazingly and against my expectations, it seems like my BX survived the operation. After a bit of cranking and a lot of smoke it now runs rather smoothly.
So I had to remove the head three times - which I find is a rather back breaking ordeal - but in the end and for now, it seems like it's allright.
Tomorrow I'll put it back on it's feet and take a spin. I hope there wont be a an aftermath.
Thanks to everyone who helped!
I'll grab myself a beer now.

That small pond is lake zurich...
Yeah I worked on it whenever I had the time. Next up is a simple oil change and then I will probably flush the LHM system, I've got that hydrorincage on my shelf for like two years now. Winter's at the door step so I doubt I'll fiddle with the A/C.

Have you ever been to the Alpamare (probably spelt it wrong?), its that swimming complex that has all the water slides & outdoor pools etc?

Yeah I've been there a couple of times. The slides are quite nice and I love the hot outside pools Pretty sweet at night, with the steam rising through the darkness.

I used to enjoy the hot pool outside & they had a small one at the end which was like a large bathtub size which was at air temp, so you'd dive into this freezing water & jump back into the hot one
