Threw it all together and turned it over to get oil pressure and to check that there were no valve/piston interaction at starter motor speed!!

55 PSI after a little while waiting.

quite chuffed with that. although the banjo at the head end of the external feed was blowing out oil so i reckon there might be a blockage in there.. Main thing is that the engine has oil pressure so i didn't forget stuff like the O ring on the gearbox.

Also means i need a new belt already but as a cheap one is only $12 and the decent one is $18 i think i can afford a couple of them!!

here is a couple of money shot pics.





Sorry for the phone pics I will get some decent high res pics after work tomorrow.
