My reinstalled engine is back where it belongs and has been burbling away in the garage circulating engine flush and rad flush through it's internals and burning off the fumes from it's new paint!
After the ring gear debacle of a few days ago this is good news and I'm now going to have a hot bath and then sit by the fire with a cold beer and contemplate welding my seat belt anchors to my roll bar tomorrow! Given that I burnt a hole in my sump this week trying to arc weld my sump plug in place
this will need to be approached with caution Goodnight peeps!
Cheers
Jon
