That's my old engine on the cover.

 

I pre ordered it some time ago in readiness unfortunately my engines in bits now
I least i will be able to see where i went wrong

 

It's not every day you get your old engine on the front of a book

 

Can't wait till June . Will Laurie be doing book signings in Waterstones?

 

I don't want to boast, but its my engine on the cover of the Tom Wilson book.

 

Parts of my old engine will be in the "what not to do" section, specifically using a rubber tube for the oil pick-up. Those pesky PO bodges!!

 

Left or right?

 

Thanks for the tip-off, Davidoft... I've just pre-ordered a copy!

 

Will Laurie be posing in tight shorts, like Tom Wilson's 70s attire? If so, I'm not sure want to see it...

 

I hope he reccomends the use of a bucket to drop the bits into when dis-assembley takes place as he did at Tekenders one year.

 

Both.

 

Hopefully a before and after else it explains the oil leak
Just running my motor in at the moment, pulls well I must say !

 

I haven't read the book, but this is the method I use.
At least I'm doing something right.

 

Just pre-oredered mine.

 

well my engine will feature in my beginners guide book called "what's that in the noisy cupboard?"

 

Great phrase

 

i daren't look in it, there's obviously something very poorly and angry in there the amount of coughing and growling it does
all the other cupboards only make a noise when i turn a sharp corner or pull off too quickly - a lot less scary, and i understand what's in them!

 

Just open the lid and poke it with a stick...

 

good thinking! reckon it'll eat it though as it seems very hungry and thirsty!
