Well my Dad and I managed to prime the oil system today without too much fuss. Made up a tool out of some old copper pipe flattened one end and with a drill bit in the other end my dad shaped the pipe into the thread of the drill bit - perfect... 30 seconds of turning and the system tightened and the pressure gauge shot up to 25 psi - perfect!!!
Next had the rocker cover off and checked that the oil was feeding up to the rocker shafts - it was time to be happy again!!!!.
All go for the Cam Break in on Thursday morning - fingers crossed we don't get any problems - most worrying moment of the week I'm sure...
Tinka - you have me worried now that they really did clean it all out properly when they dipped the block and heads..... Glad you got it all sorted though - funny how small jobs always seem to get bigger the more you dig into them.
