Thanks Ryan
Never get tired of firing a flat head V8 up. I agree with you, there is something special just watching it while its running.
Brief update,
First picture shows how i primed the engine lubrication system. Oil pressure took a little while. But is now at 50 to 60 PSI, so very happy about that.
Timing was very advanced so I have adjusted it back, 5 degrees before TDC. Advance as it revs up working fine.
Carbie is flooding so I'll rip it off and sort it out.
When I pulled the heads off to do the head studs, I realised just how much scale and crap was in them. I decided to clean them using hydrochloric acid.
It did an amazing job!!. I was stunned at how much crap came out.
What was good was just how clean they were after about 12 hours.
