Engine Rebuild - First Start


Recommended Posts

My engine rebuild was completed some time ago but finishing off the bodywork has been the priority in recent months. I used plenty of reassembly lubricant when the engine was rebuilt and thankfully it seems to have done it's job. I am hoping this video shows the moment of truth. I am running the engine at 2000rpm to bed in the camshaft and followers. I didn't get to 20 minutes as planned because the engine boiled after a few minutes. Although I'd tested the thermostat before I put it back in the engine it decided not to open. Eaisily sorted thankfully and can now move the restoration into the final phases.
