Engine's in, heads on, timed and filled with oil, but during the week I'll get coolant in ex system on and coolant pipework so that I can start her up.
This evening I've flattened a battery priming it with oil, and making sure it's got to all of the new bearing surfaces before firing it up. Always worth it, i feel, and easier than cranking it over by hand for ten minutes.
But I won't be going far until the refurbed radial MC arrives back, Jonesy is working his usual miracle on it atm. It would be nice to have brakes that feel as though they're going to stop me...
I'm beginning to look forward to testing this build out, with the oversized inlet valves, high comps, etc, etc, it should go ok. Hopefully I can get some time into jetting before heading down to Devon.
Green stuffs available if you need it Tony.
