and seanl it was running poor mpg with the old engine anyways i.e about 18 mpg and set up righ tit shouldn't be too bad but i'm buying another hack for my commute to work to save moneys for the rocco :) 36mile a day would be quite costly  :rolleyes:

and to dom i'll be posting up a youtube vid when she's done then getting her set up and rolling roaded to get the best out of the carbs setup

another little update on the engine build...

finished reseating all the valves now so that job's done now then thaught its time i properly cleaned up the head so out came the degreaser and the use of a freinds sand blaster and the result is...





i was rather happy with the outcome and decided to blast the cam pulley aswell but no picture of that at the moment..

also fitted some new clocks into the rocco so i have the correct clocks in now for a start ( bye bye 120mph speedo and a clock ) so i now got the 140mph speedo it should have and a rev counter again   :cool:

then took a randon pic of her raring to be tripped...



comments welcome
