Still alive

It's been a few months since I last ran up the GT6 so the battery charger went on midday Friday and after work that day and quite a bit of cranking to get the fuel back through to the injectors she fired up. Just a quick run around the block but enough to free off the brakes and get up to temperature.
And the reason for leaving the GT6 for so long? I'd noticed that the inner CV's were starting to get noisy and slack, so I have not been keen on going too far until they have been replaced, that and I've been increasing busy with SS Freshspring.

I have another pair of CV's to fit once I have checked them, there is space in the workshop and I can find a clear day or two to fit them.



One day I'll get around to building up a new balanced bottom end for the engine using the brand new crank, VP bearings and +60 pistons I have ready and waiting, but for now it seems to be holding up quite well as I've not pushed it for too long at the upper rev range.
