Cheers Lynn.....yeah I have seen a few tricks, one is pouring AT fluid down the pots, but better still i have seen a Tiger Moth aircraft engine (RR gypsy major) free'd up by pouring boiling oil down the bores which worked a treat. i dont know where to start with the valves as all my other engine building / tuning experience comes from standard heads with valves in
 so glad i retained my DTi gauges / CR gauges / oil preasure gauges etc etc.re painted the garage floor and sorted all the tools out, cleaned the stainless worktops down ready to go...i am so excited now i cant wait ! i drove one for the firt time a few weeks back and i am totally hooked ! will need to build my arms up a bit, i struggled making hard right turns, could not quite get the breaks to nip the drums, luckily i was shown how to drive it by a real pro, was amazed he could keep her level (no rocking and rolling) whilst moving up the gears, and the carrier was faster than i expected too !
