The only worry I'd have would be that the cylinders might have got damp and rusted, especially if there is no carb etc on.

After the assembly, did you turn it over on the starter to get oil pressure?

if the bores were oiled and the journals lubed i wouldnt worry too much rich, put it to the back of your mind, like global warming "Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

James, tell me about it, the cars pretty much done!! Its hard when I go and buy another car which has the same power, comfy, quiet, warm and looks alright for what it cost me to build my gearbox haha. Ahh well, looking foward to this season, still need brakes though, oooh and a job. |
