Got caught out, only discovered at the W/E that the Mrs 3Ltr test runs out on Thursday, the garage normally notify me well in advance, this by the way is RayF's old motor, still going strong, jet washed it off found a couple of minor issues but worst was a small thin bit of the OSR cill, tapped it with a hammer and produced a hole about 2.5 inches by 1.5 inch, cut it back to good metal and will weld it up tomorrow ready for test on Wednesday, incidentally Ray treated this motor with waxoil and it shows, there were thick clumps of the stuff in the cill so by and large it has done its job, but to make sure I have cut an access hole in the top of the cill so when done I can give it a good spray inside, Rick
