It will - unless you forgot some valve springs in the dish washer

Don't suppose your interested in selling your engine stand now you've finished with it? I only ask becasue I'm about to start building another V8 for my Range Rover.

Concentrate on the important stuff now - silencers are just cosmetics

[Mrs Fish]

It was so loud it spooked our neighbours horses

I didn't knew that your neighbours have horses.
When I've made my first Stage1-without-silencers-experience, a schoolrun-mummy from the nearby horse/riding hall (voc?) came over and complained louder than the V8 was. Didn't understand her though

Well its runnning nicely now just need to put a few more bits on it and it's finished. Still got a blow on the exhautst manifold which I fear maybe one of those unsolveables.

Can't wait till the engine is tuned properly.

When It's all done I'll post some pictures and give the rolling road details.

Looks like you've done a nice job. Are you going to get it dirty?
