This is one nice vehicle. Your patience in posting what you found as you built it taught me a lot. Great to see it on the road again.

Cheers,
Harv

Yep Blacky, my long trips are a problem now. Hopefully things get better down the track.
Thanks Errol, going ok.
Thanks Tim, Buster is flat out sleeping. I'll ask him tomorrow Looks like Molly is a car nut too.
Buster has a little friend now that keeps him busy and very tired. Beau.

Finally got the engine running today! Was good to hear that note again..........hope the neighbours enjoyed it as much as I did. I did at least have a muffler on it.
Oil pressure turned out real good with the full flow system so that was sigh of relief. Timing gear was also nice and quiet (wasn't sure how this would go as many have just said to replace the cam gear only). I did both cam and crank and its good.
I ended up cutting open the oil filter after the run for a check. No dramas there but plan to check again after a few miles are done on the road.

Hi Craig, thanks for the link to your full flow oil filter system. I just read the whole thread (and will have to do it again). You certainly have a fine vehicle there, I hope you are enjoying it. I'll be happy if my Betty is half as nice!

I assume the full flow oil filter is still going strong? Is the pipe size you used bigger than the standard and I assume no drama's going through the block?

Cheers

Dave

Yes thanks mate. Still going well. Pipe size I used was 1/2" which is larger ID than the main gallery. I went larger to compensate for the number of restrictions from fittings and bends.
