At present the motor has been honed, new rings, head job, bearings, crankshaft, rockers faced, new injector pump ........... in effect the only old parts are pistons (on size).

Could someone let me know the running oil pressure, running temp and run-in time before being put under power.

Any help appreciated.

I just thought I should add that the Ford inboard motor series is 4D254.

Thanks for any help.

Andrew,

Lucky Reg has gone fishing for a few days. When he gets back I know he will be pleased with the necessary information you have passed on.
