Would love to see the video of it just purring away!!!!

Thanks again to all!

I will get a better video when things are sorted out. I'll get a few runs on it and loosen things up and then post some good stuff. I still owe Steamer a big Vroom!!

Unleaded gas with 10% WD40

OK Steamer, this is the biggest Vroom this Little Demon can muster. I'm getting good responce from the throttle. I think my valves have seated. Things are loosening up. It'll get better at idle after a few more runs.

SHE'S A RUNNER!!

Thats just crying out for a dyno session. Think you can make 4 tiny butterflies and a teeny tiny vacuum diaphram? Im pretty sure I have the whole SIC dyno project in my archives.

still sounds tight, but a few runs will fix that ;D
Fantastic

Woooooopa! Woooooopa!.....followed by nice lumpy cam.....I can't stop listening to it!

Once the engine gets some runtime and loosens up, that cam is going to sound real cool!

Tomorrow I'm going to fill the radiator and see if the pump pumps.

I took it to the hardware store to get an o-ring/fan belt so I would'nt have to guess. Got stopped twice trying to get to the regester by shoppers. Wide eyes in that store.

[steamer]

G'day Steve,

I just returned home from working away to catch up on the progress. I have been waiting for the day when I could hear this engine run and must say I love it A truly inspirational build thread. Maybe the sound will kick my but into gear to continue on with my engine. I must say thank you very much for the hints and tips I have picked up throughout this build. You must be proud.


Regards Baz ;D
