its a great experience every time.

that last moment of "did I do it all right" just before you turn the key

that nag of doubt when you hear the first unfired compression stroke wind off

the fret of "is that ticking noise the lifters oiling up or the sign of something worse to come."

the elation when it just sits there idling just begging you "go on, snap the butterfly, you know you want to."

[Sleepy]

Nice one Mick.:cool:

And from here on your confidence will grow. Job well done and if ever in doubt, Landy's aren't strictly a religion on here so don't be afraid to ask about other makes.

It's the Gilmer drive causing the noise . I went with a double row timing chain instead of straight cut gears .
