Hi Marcus, no smoke , clean start and a smooth idle.
I haven't been able to rev it feeding it from a drink bottle, the injectors need fuel pressure.
So far the engine looks good.
The biggest issue with the M40 is the timing belt. Looking at the condition of the rest of the rubber and fan belts etc in the engine bay we'll replace the timing belt before the project is completed.
Setting up the work area now at my warehouse.
Lots of good bits and money to be saved getting a complete donor car.
In addition to the engine and clutch I'm going to use the clutch master cylinder, radiator, electric fan, brake master cylinder and most of the electrical system , fuse box etc.
