Hi,
RESULT !!!!!!!!
I was being too gentle with the OSS and with a gentle bit of persuasion it sprang into life !!!
Gets stiff as it approaches the rear portion but I haven't managed to ease that yet, but a working OSS is a bonus !!!
Shame the engine didn't suddenly spring into life, but without any mechanical crunching or tinkling noises it was turning over. But it would do that even if the cambelt had snapped and done the damage to the pistons / valves already.
But as I have said I have budgeted for an engine anyway!!
Should know if I need an engine or not when I get chance to investigate further.
I hope I am not boring everyone with this !!
