So far the tarp workshop is surviving the winds! Engine is reassembled and we built a test frame to hold it. Test loom made and all external bits bolted on. She turns over and we have a spark. Petrol pump is goosed though, so a late night now trying to repair it (looks unlikely). I SO want to hear this baby run  |

Made myself a gravity feed mini fuel tank today from an old gunk tin. Batt is flat on my phone, so will post a pic tomorrow. In the meanwhile here are a few from the past few weeks, and a puzzle for those of knowledge |

So here is the puzzle.
When I cleaned out the head ports, i found they were numbered. At a glance I thought "Duh, why put 1 to 8 in there" But then, on close inspection they were numbered 1,6,3,4,5,2,7,8
Any idea what these numbers mean???

The engine runs ok. Whooo Hooooo. Water pump and Rad are goosed, need to get replacements. But the main block is running pretty sweet. Will is rendering a video now, will put a link up a little later. Thanks to Dobber for the new block and to everyone for advice |

Great news -another one breathes again!
I was going to suggest the numbers were the valve opening sequence, but as the Reliant firing order's 1 3 4 2 I'm not sure.
