Haha very good.

Good tip. Just checked and no leaks.

Found out the hard way that you can't put the tensioner in with the head on whilst the engine is in the frame. I hadn't torqued it down though so all good.

Am I good to go ahead and torque it down before trying to fit the cam?

I have a 650 cam for this which I had machined at Newman's cams.
Obviously I'm using the original gear.

Fine to torque first.
You doknow the tacho will read wrong with 650 cam?

eight0:
Good good, thanks Bryan. YeahI'm not using the tach, I've got digital gauges. Plus I've deleted the Speedo drive and fitted twin discs.

eight0:
This correct?
