180 deg out on ignition.
Very pleased with it as I have completely stripped and rebuild the engine with new bearings, cam, followers, rings, rockers etc - mainly because I
have never worked on an engine before.

Well done Paul - Ain't it a fab feeling? - Did you get any video of the moment? - I'm very sad and look at mine (video) often because it
still brings a big grin to my chops.
Anyway - Enough celebrating - Off to the garage man - You have an SVA to pass...
If you pay peanuts...
Mentale, yar? Yar, mentale!
Drive it like you stole it!

I wondered what that big grin was that I could see on the horizon.
Well done mate, its a great feeling isn't it.
Enjoy.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Nice one Paul, don't it feel good when it runs for the first time - especially after nasty flames on first attempts
There is no replacement for displacement...
