Re: She lives

Started my new engine only a week or so ago. Got it all ready then spent an hour wondering if i'd built it right, put all the wires back in the right place, hoses on tight and generally worrying. Turned the key and she started pretty much straight away, yippeee. Did 20 mins cam break in and off for a drive, used Wilf's recommendation of driving it hard for the break-in and apart from an oil pressure problem (bit of crap behind the pressure relief valve) it's been fine ever since, sounds so much better than before and slightly more powerful
