    I do it in 2 chunks, dead stop after first from high revs, pull wire off. :D I like to let it cool down for 10 mins, those tight rings (and mine), have a look round, give my nerves a rest and offer more sacrifices to the gods.

  7. Quite scary how much fuel they guzzle if you're working from a small tank.

  12. Sounds very nice - worth all that hassle.

    I should point out that it's traditional in TLB engine vids for you to waggle your bum about on camera...

    Was the oil pressure at tickover?
     
  14. No 2- 2500ish rpm started off just over 4 bar settled down to 3 and a bit. Today's job was finding what it should be.... but by the squirting all over the drive when sensor was out last time didn't think it was a problem.

    Depends on what oil you use. I use valvoline something or other that @Paul Weeding said to use and mine starts off about 5 then when warm down to 2-3 and a bit lower on tickover.

  16. Halfrauds 20/50 classic oil. Just seen on tinterweb 10 psi per 1000 rpm. .. so 25-30psi at 2500+../14.5 = 1.7bar!.. guess it's high as new and thick oil! But looks to be close to yours..I'm assuming you get no grief...
