[QUOTE="sparkywig, post: 471183, member: 3541"] :bliss: It runs, thank **** for that. [url=http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/resto%20pics/engine/002_zps138acd02.mp4][img]http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg288/sparkywig/resto%20pics/engine/th_002_zps138acd02.jpg[/img][/url] At midday today there was a possibility that it was being dropped out and stripped. Almost 7 hours (over a couple of days) of hand turning and oiling the bores to try and get it to loosen up. Eventually it loosened enough for the starter to turn it, oil pressure achieved and then fired up. Cam burn done, timing set, just need a fiddle with the mixture, and then change the oil and filter. Oh, and fit the oil line P clips when they turn up. The moral is, don't leave a built engine on the bench for 14 months. :| [/QUOTE]
