Here's a top tip.......don't look at Pab's avatars before bed time:sleeping::scared::badair::badair::sleeping:
 
Nice simple one for ya.........
I have just had my engine head off and wanted to check the head bolts were still tight after its first run. So to avoid taking it all apart (cowling off, fan cover off etc etc etc), Just drill 2 holes in the plastic head cover directly above the head bolt holes and drop your allen key down through the holes to check the head bolts.
The holes can then be covered with black insulation tape and all is invisible !!!!!!:sailor:
