nice one mate

 

Cheers mate

Thanks for putting me in touch with matt lewis as well (still be waiting for the lifters if it wasnt for him!)

 

 

just gotta run it in now 1000miles of driving easy

at least its running

 

pleased for you

Don't forget, easy doesn't mean pootling around necessarily. Don't labour the engine (too low rev's for gear) and try to vary the load and rev's the engine sees. e.g. a 1000 miles up the motorway and back ain't good for running engines in.

Enjoy

 

yeah mate i know

dont labour it and dont rag the arse off it, and let the car drive the engine occasionally (over run) to help bed the rings and bearings in the other way


Whats the best oil after run in.

Currently running in on mineral 15/40

and was gunna use magnatec after wards

 

congrats mate, know the feeling after you rebuild it and turn the key!!

 

sounds correct.

I use Silkolene Pro S, wouldn't personally use Magnatec. There's a couple of Cossie oil threads if you do a search, or OilMan can advise.
