Had the dubious task of running in the new engine before it goes on the rolling road.This is normally a boring task but when the vehicle is geared for 6000 rpm at 70mph and does less than 10 mpg it becomes a real pain.Kept to country roads so I could at leat have a little bit of fun on the bends , however the car does not handle on part throttle you need to give it max attack before it will go around corners.Did most of the mileage on a nice sunny day and gave it a bit more welly towards the end , nowt below 4500 then it really lifts off , haven’t took it over 6000 yet , thought I heard the sound of detonation coming out of one hairpin so I settled down until the carbs and ignition are set up. Need to get it down to Bogg Brothers now.
