[QUOTE="mike.s, post: 603838, member: 13548"] Thanks -this is my first engine build from scratch learning every minute and appreciate any advice! :-) Put it all back together this morning and ran it up - got a whole extra bar of pressure at cold idle - 3 bar. Went down to just over a bar at hot idle so still not where i would want it to be but moving in the right direction. I guess my engine building skills are still not quite there yet although it has new crank and cam bearings. I remember the oil cooler relief plunger was difficult to get out of the case but once out, i cleaned it up and once in the bore slid up and down nicely. The other plunger was a bit looser and practically fell out - i imagine thats where i`m loosing the extra bit now. What did suprise me was when revving it up on the engine stand, that when it hit about 2k rpm, it was like the engine wanted to rev and was almost pulling the throttle open - never had that before! Guess its the 1.4 rockers and the fact its balanced aswell. [/QUOTE]
