[Mick O'Malley]

Whilst I'm waiting for a suitable weather window to get all the frame welding jobs done, I decided to try and get the engine running. So far: I've hoisted it back onto the engine stand (old picture alert!) and bought oil and filter; points; condenser; cap and leads and CD150 overhaul kit. Plugs yet to buy. I've also bought an Imp Sport cylinder head which Imp Guru Mark Maynard tells me is the one to have, and is a straight swap. This will be post starting as I'll need to source suitable carb(s) and a sport cam.



I will of course devise a way to ensure that the engine stand is completely secure for the anticipated very short coolant-less run which will be preceded with a good plug-less spin with Redex in the bores to get the oil circulating.

Regards, Mick

p.s. I wish it would stop raining, I much preferred it bright and bitter!
