Excelent, Glad to be of help and glad my fellow XR enthusiasts were able to point you to a happy conclusion.
I know the joy of a running engine after a head scratcher. My first ever engine change was on br Brother in laws sierra. We had never tried a big job, we had never seen the replacement run!.. After a days work it did not fire.. But next morning whilst he was at work we gave it big effort and shre fired.. I ran all the way up and down the street waving at the neighbours who had shown intrest whilst walking past... Bro was so chuffed when I collected him from work in his own car. ( it was his first at 17, cost him £1400 and cracked a piston after 2 months (not his fault)... £450 for the replacement
)
