I`ve only gone and bl**dy done it !!!

Big day today. The old cheby anchor came to life again after a total rebuild from the rusty old block of iron I brought home last year. :thumb: :thumb:
A couple of snags - one small fuel leak and one small water leak, both cured with a bit of tightening. Slight wiring problem on the fans caused by too much alcohol while wiring them up last night - lesson learned !!!
Broke the cam in as suggested.
I`m quite surprised how the cooling system held up in this weather today during cam break-in.
Been annoying the neighbours on and off this afternoon, but no matter how I try, the smile won`t go away.
Going to drain the oil in the morning and refill with new and a filter.
I made a short video and will work out how to post it here when I get back home on Friday.
Ther are a couple of smallish bits`n bobs to sort out but nothing too serious.
Thanks to everyone with advice and tips over the last year or so. :thumb:
Going to try and wash this smile from my face with a few Caffreys now

You are far better off changing the oil whilst it is all hot

I dropped the oil this afternoon.
Of course I had to repeat the grin factor just for 5 minutes (to warm the oil)

The Dutch started emerging again last night with a little alcoholic persuasion

You`re welcome for the beers, thanks for the loom :thumb:
