Thanks guys. It was the crappy O-ring from my gasket kit getting  
pinched. Even with oil on it, it wouldn't slip past the nose of the  
crank. I went and got a nice grey one which looks graphited, and it  
just slipped on fine. Gap is now 1.25mm which needed 4 shims to take  
out, but all is OK.

It was a basic question, but I'm in a hurry to get the car back on the  
road for a trip to the German T3 meeting at Wolfsburg in 1 month, so I  
don't want any hold ups! Having your answers ready for the next day in  
the workshop helped a lot.
