Ya its the standard inlet gasket i've got so not very thick. I suppose getting another gasket or just cutting one out of the let over gasket paper I've got is an option
I started it up again and video'd it again. It starts up pretty easy now and the oil pressure light goes out straight away. It also doesn't sound like the gaps between the exhaust strokes is as long (doesn't sound like a horse slowly galloping faster). My battery warning light seems to stay on though? Couple of questions though, at the beginning of the video you can see the bit at the end of the gearbox spinning round, should it when its out of gear? I also did a capture of the alternator pulley at the front and tried to get a good shot of crankshaft sensor as it's not sitting directly over the teeth on the pulley, there's probly a gap of about 3mm so should it sit directly over it? the cambelt pulley is on as far as it will go without squashing into the thrust washer. I then tried to rev it a bit manually (no pedal box fitted yet) and it'll rev slightly ok but as soon as I tried to rev it a bit higher it starts to stall? Is this just because the engine hasn't warmed up enough yet (choke is fully on)? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YezQJMfioU |

also does it still sound like not all the cylinders are firing and if so I do work out which one isn't and to resolve?

Once its warm (very quick with no coolant in) you wont need the choke, let the choke off and it will help it rev a little, also you can adjust the throttle stop to set the idle
But with airleaks, lean jetting, static timing and no exhaust its never gonna sound good is it! The gearbox spinning is fine and it sounds like its firing on all cylinders to me, my old cvh engine sounded very similar with no exhaust on first start Last edited by mark : 9th October 2011 at 11:11 AM.

Sounds like it's running fairly well all things considered.
