new engine good

well its all running and run in pretty much and iam loving the new engine.
at an est its doing 80/85kw but its detuned a lot as well and will get tuned up a bit in a week or so once the valves have worked them selfs.
Set the lifter preload and then have a play with ignition as iam pretty conservtive atm with only around 14deg initial on a standerd dizzy so i think ill be able to get it to 18 or so as comp is a little low at around 8.5 or 9.
i was a bit worried the cam whould not be ideal considering its the max lift the stock rocker can take and its not small at 225deg@50 but its good pulls like a stock 250 to about 3000 then you get pushed into the seat lol.
fuel is really good as well getting
7.9km to the liter or
12.6 to the 100 or for americans
18.67 miles to the gallon

which is pretty good since i dident take it easy and it included lots of mountain roads and some city traffic and some highway to so if straght highway id nilly expect 10l to 100 which is what the old stocky use to get
