G'day, I'm going through my old emails and bringing them up to date. I visited Tom Pryor in June with a view to using his newly assembled engine to
run the testing but unfortunately we ran out of time before we could get the testing done. I contacted Manny as I knew he had an assembled engine test
bed he used to test transmissions. He volunteered to help with the testing. Unfortunately when I got there I discovered that my oil filter adapter
test fixture would not fit on an engine with OEM exhaust manifolds. Bottom line: I have a Paterson 455 that I need to reassemble and test. I will
build an engine run stand and perform the testing when I return to the USA next year. Actually that is a better idea as if something goes wrong and
the engine blows up it's MY engine, not someone elses!
