Thanks Chaps - very kind words (and Emojis
![]() I do have a confession to make - I did make one huge blunder. I didn't put any sort of sealant on the head studs when I put them in. ![]() As a result I had a water fountain running out of all the head nuts. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So.... off with the heads again and remove, clean and refit all 48 of them. I used a sealant I luckily already had. I previously used it to seal the LPG lines on my ute. It was expensive from memory, but it is the bee's knees.

Kind of hypnotic watching those belts as it runs.
Well done mate. Great to see the project progressing.

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.
