took cams out to oil them up
and this is how its left over night
all thats left to do is make up a pipe to do away with the oil cooler going to use one of these pipes
then need to fill with oil/water prime it then start it and should be out tomorow racking the miles back up

made the pipe up to avoid the oil cooler
the it was ready to start
primed it and then refitted the plugs , started straight away and was getting good oil pressure ,
took if out for 30 mins to bed the rings in, oil pressure was reading 5 bar on idol and just under 5 1/2 bar when reved, this seam ok?, took it to 6k to bed the rings in and it was just spinning the wheels at quite a naughty speed which was fun, few little probs , hadent niped up a oil pipe at the back so that had a little leak , wideband is still playing up but will make a thread on then , clutch pedal was way high but have sorted that now and battery light was coming on, , when running the car is not charging the battery chechked that it was earthed ok and it was so have taken the alt of and im going to take it to get checked tomorow, anyone have any other ideas what will be causing the battery light , all connections were good
alt of
was a tight fit to remove it
and have also done a oil change and filter on it ,
tipical aswell is that for the 13 days its been of the road its not rained , its now forcast to rain for the next 7 lol
