It Lives

[nicko]

Hi all, well today was a good day. Got the new engine fired up for the 1st time, after adjusting the timing a little, it runs lovely. Just got to sort out the air locks it's bound to have, change oil and filter and then it's test drive time.

Big thanks again to all who have helped.

What engine? Video?

 

I remember how amazing it felt first time my engine started! Though the video I watch back te most is the slow motion backfire...

Glad to hear she is up and running Nick. The car should also be a bit lighter now after all the cleaning off the rust and carbon I did on it... :rofl:

Quick shout to the kind guys who helped me fit my engine. One of you has left a valve grinding tool (stick with suckers on each end) and a palm shaped brush thing.

Let me know who's it is and I'll return it at the next meet.

Thanks again,

How is she running? Mine wont run smoothly at the moment, especially when starting from cold.

Mark, if I don't get chance to drop by yours, i'll bring to the next meet. Andy, engine ticks over fine, and managed to get the car out onto the drive, and back into the garage. One day i'll get to go for a drive..... Nick
