Always a good feeling when a fresh built engine actually starts up!
Did you check your clearances on your cam followers?

yeah it was all checked, re checked, many cups of coffee and swearing when doing the shims and such. found the best mix was the Jap cams and shim buckets with the Uk head and valves. theres slight differences in weight and design and thickness, which meant the tolerances were better. the engine doesnt "tick" at all now. and its going for its MOT this week. all thats left to do is put 2 under trays on and road test.
