Well it turned over :)

But as yet no oil pressure, so I will have to play around with the engine tomorrow.

Just have a little bit more to do on the wiring ( headlights, washers etc)



I also changed the clutch arm and I'm so glad I did!





I noticed that the clutch adjuster bolt was pretty much fully adjusted due to the bent arm and as well as that check out the extended pin



I'm guessing that this was done due to the fact that the arm was bent and the pin was not long enough to operate the clutch.

Any way when I get oil pressure tomorrow I will be starting it up.

Great news! I have oil pressure, what a relief!

It was around 64-70 psi while I was cranking it over.

So lets see if it starts;)

Thanks

Well it's alive :)

Took a bit of cranking over to fill the carb up but it finally sparked into life;)

No it does not need running in, I only changed the head gasket and the clutch, so I jut got to run it up to temp re-torque the head bolts and do the tappets.

Time to plug in the laptop now, wish me luck

I have tomorrow off work, which is great as I now got loads of stuff to do.

Cheers

What a session!

Right where to start, all of the wiring is now done and every thing works. Here is a list of what I've fitted:-

Heated screen
Seat bars
Red top 25 battery & cover
Drivers side door
Bolt check

















So tomorrow I will fit the mud flaps, adjust and bleed the clutch. Then I need to get two brake lines made and then get the suspension set up. Less than 2 weeks to go.

Cheers
