Good luck matt! I'm sure you'll have no trouble.. the amount of times you've done this now, you should be a pro

es i've done it a lot, but until the key goes and it runs ok, i always thing i've must some thing out, like the oil pump or some thing in the engine! It does me in!

What sort of milage does the engine cover between rebuilds?

I have just figured the success to massive power too. - lots of colours, not just bmc green or red!

last year i had the all last year mate.

is your engine called joseph, matt ?

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

minimole23 , Last year was only around 2500, but normaly it's around 5 or 6 thousand.
Yes Robert, T3tone has kindly told me that the new colours look a right C**T, he isn't wrong, but this year was all about getting it done i had no time for the pretty bits, so the painted part are there just for the protection.

Looking good. The only problem I see is no green. Could hold it back a bit.

Guys thanks, I really thing your on to some thing, as there isn't a piece of green paint around!!

yes, hughesmarkie it doesn't help for sure, and you probably even colder then where we are. i hope you get yours sorted soon to.

nice one mat keep us posted

Well about 5 mins ago i fired it up for about 2 to 3 seconds, after getting 50 psi on the key oil pressure, why not leave it running longer?? well it cold and very dark here so i can't really check for leaks, added to that i haven't been arsed to add the coolent yet lol.
I just hope that this year i can return to the form it had back in 2006. every thing is new apart from one thing so i'll see if it's that that losing me the power.

Why not just put a little splash of green paint on it... Then if this is the most powerful ever, you'll know why.

Then again, if you don't - and it isn't - you'll also know why...

Wow dave
Philosophy at its best.
