Just over 60psi oil pressure on the starter. However forgot to put the drain on the turbo! oopsie!

Everytime I see the cut out for it I think, poor old Col. Then go hunting for the o-ring and a dab of greece to make sure it stays there.

I like your positive thinking Andy, realising that you had flushed out the turbo oil system, albeit inadvertently.

Had a productive weekend.

Wasn't happy with the gonzo's nose. A baggy boost hose with a 135 degree bend on it isn't going to help anything



So I made up a new one. Not pretty, but should do the job.



Then we stuck the remaining bits on the engine




Shoved it in and did a bit of wiring and plumbing, leaving us with this



Been doing the little PITA jobs today, like the interior and fitting/wiring in the coolant re-circ pump and screen wash.



Had it running briefly yesterday, it's not quiet. Fired first turn of the key which was reassuring. Once it's all sorted I'll put a video of it running up.
