Havent tested it properly yet but went for a run to town today to do some shoping & had about 50ltrs in the tank it's about 15 to 20 minutes to town & drove around for about30 minutes then went shoping & got caught up with someone wanting to know all about it then another 20 to get home had some lunch then went & checked the temp it was cold at first but warmed up good enough to shower with not hot just warm pretty good I thought Im sure it would get hotter on a longer drive so it works YIPPIE

As you can see the head has to come off to make it through the gap after takeing the grill & rad & rad support out

The long 3x2 clamped to block is to counter balance engine as lift point is about center of front cylinder then you can move it closer to center of engine once you lift it foward a bit Supported the gearbox with ratchet strapp while the motor is out
