Hi Folks!
I'm back again. I'm not writing 5 pages for a full catch up. I had a full weekend off work last week to figure out a few problems and get them solved. Then last Sunday the engine was back in with fully welded mounts etc etc. What I found quite amusing was, when the engine was finally fixed to the chassis rails, The old rear engine steady for the Rover bolted straight into the Brodix head? and the Front engine steady bolted into the same hole on the front of that head
Yesterday was starter motor and alternator. It actually took 8 hrs in total, but the two items are now settled in there. I had the battery on trickle charge for 7 hours but ended up fitting a jumper pack. After 3 years, the old battery was showing 7.4 volts. I had already primed the engine several times a few months back. But had also had it drained with the sump off for 2 days last week. The distributor was already in and timed, so I thought I would take a chance and see what happened. After 10 seconds of cranking with the plugs out, she made 45psi on the gauge which I was very happy with I must say. Today was supposed to be another workshop day, but we had Faith for a sleepover last night so Grandad and Faith were in the paddling pool most of today instead
