Nice one Rob,

Its a major milestone of your build, if you are like me .....I ended up starting mine every day for about a week once I knew it would run

cheers

i think late march was the first time it ran .. The old 2.9 was hauled out and the 1.8 sort of put in which was a struggle compared to the V6.

It's fun , always a buzz when an engine runs... And a pain when a runner refuses ... Will get the rest of the fleet moved a bit over the week and see if I can get her out of the garage ..

Some water will make it a bit quieter.. need to go and find some suitable hoses in the hose box, but that's behind a couple of engines.
