it runs!!!!
ok probably of zero interest to any of you but i'm well happy! finaly got the engine running last night!had the timing a mile and a half out to
start with which led to some serious pop bang and flame action but once that was sorted it sounds spot on  
the neighbours were none to happy though.......it was getting on for 11pm when it finaly fired up 
now to get the radiator plumbed in....

Well done! It's always one of the best bits of a biuld to hear the powerplant come to life. It's a real good feeling of progress!
Next one is getting her out for a test drive!
All the best
