      No shorts here, don't do shorts, have to waste too much time applying sun block to my milk bottle legs. :)

          Previous one was before a further strip down, has since been bored out +20 thou and fitted with new pistons.
          Sounds a little tappety as there is a little bit of wear on cam buckets, will see how it sounds when it has heavier oil in it (thin stuff in at moment)
          If need be we will replace the cam buckets and tighten the gap to eliminate any tappet sound.

                    Noticed a bit of a strange noise when we got back to Birds and Bees (pub Stirling & District Classic Car Club SDCCC) last night form Glasgow and I went to park.

                    Just been out to investigate and got a wobbly water pump pulley.

                            You can subscribe to a thread,

                            Then I think you click the notification button at top and it will show you unread posts in subscribed threads.

                              Bob, pat is correct, top right hand side click +Subscribe and its logged as a "favourite"

                              Then on front page there are three tabs under the rotating bannerIf you click "My Subscriptions" anything you have bookmarked is listed, or should be !

                              We can ask Michael to add a "my Subscription" to nav bar so you just click it and its done

                              Thanks for the suggestion Bob, we will "make it so"
