    I'm hoping to find time to pillar bed a manners eh1 over the weekend and had a few questions
    1) the pillars are so tight dry fitting, more so than any other bedding job I've done. Any reason not to open them a bit? (Itd take a good few what's from a hammer to get them in)
    2) the rear pillar sits a bit proud, but the front sits below the inlet. I'm assuming I need to remove material to get good DBM-Pillar-action contact correct?
