I love the laugh too...


I remember my first engine swap, a 1.8CVH back in ~1999 on my brotehr inlaws sierra. After doing all the work to replace the poorly engine with and expensive £400! replacement. It would not start. After lots of faffing, charging the battery, cleaning the plugs, putting a 12V feed to the coil and 24hrs.. We almost gave up hope. Then she fired and ran like a dream... I ran up and down the street shouting, cheering and waving the Victory sign at all the neighbours that had given encouragment during the work..


Well done, I think you have probably learnd a vast amount that quit a number of builders probably manage to avoid.
