Well ,after lots of buggerising around , i.e. , when I pulled the pistons out to hone the bloody thing I found out the crank was knackered , then took 3 cranks to find a good one , today we stuck it back in and fired it up 
Now I just need to get it licenced again and we will be good to go to the Pipeline cruise next weekend

Good to hear you got her sorted. Was raceing at wannaroo a few weeks back and got talking to a nice old bloke (Neville Cooper) who turned out to have big racing career back in the 60s 70s. Bored me shitless when he started on greys 
but it seems a shame all this knowledge on relieving/polishing oil galleries to stop crank failures is fadeing away with these old timers. I guess they had a headstart back then with brand new cranks.

Well done Blacky. Let's hope it doesn't give you the grief it did during last year's Nationals.
