Trouble with Torrot

Poor old Torrot has been loosing speed and feeling very anemic recently. Decoked the exhause and noticed a bit of dribble from around the cylinder deck-head union so time to address a head gasket issue... that was a few weeks back... Today I tackled the trouble of the Torrot by changing out the head gasket which was blown through for one for a Peugeot - perfect fit.
While it was headless, may as well decoke the piston and clean the combustion chamber... then set the timing as I could set it with a straight edge across the bore. Now she runs like a champ!
