spend the weekend getting everything back together under my bonnet.filled with oil and coolant took the plugs out to crank it afew times to get the oil pressure up as the engine hasnt been run yet since the build but it wont crank!
all i get is a click from the starter area!sounds like a relay clicking?im worried that i may have the wiring to the altenator crossed with the starter
does someone have a wiring diagram so as i can trace/check my wiring??

the starter has got its main feed from batt and is getting good voltage.because i can hear the starter clicking im guessing the signal is good so im gona rip the starter off and bench test it 2moz!it was working ok before and is fairly new but you never know!![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)

yea iv turnned it over loads!didnt want it to seize!and to spread the oil.carried out compression test and cylinder leak test when it was at work.its all timed up and got good compression!so fingers crossed theres no reason why it shouldnt run!!![Clap](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/9c-clap.gif)
