Spot on!, combined with Benross's modded clamp it is a very nice snug fit...

Started it back up today, first time since November.

Took a little while to get oil pressure back up but i never start a performance engine without seeing pressure first. A good old squirt of oil into the block with the pressure plunger removed sorted that.

Then the plugs went back in fuel on and BOSH, fired up!

Ticks over lovely with just the SC drops rattling away.

Stayed cool at 65 on tickover but then i noticed a small pool of fuel under the back.

After loosening off the exuast(that exits out the sill) and removing a heat shield i found a ruptured pipe. Unfortunately it is a Goodridge Jobby to a trip to The Goodridge workshop in Silverstone is due. Still best i find it now rather than when the thing is on fire trackside.

Things looking good though.

Cheers Iain, but i need a few bits from there anyway, it is just the pipe that is slightly holed, a tiny pin prick hole but under pressure it is a real steady drip....not good over a flame spitting exhaust!
