Right, got the engine in, plugged in etc, started her up, without water, just to make sure she ran, and theres a nasty rattling as if the fins on the alternator are hitting something, im hoping that its the water pump? and not the bottom end on its way out again.
cheers |

put the rad in and get some water in it, you can run it for as long as you need to be able to find the noise then. Not really the biggest task in the world to stick the hoses on is it. |

what you talking about? you just need a little loop of hose to go where the cooler was, dont need any copper crap made up.
Ill have that spare oil cooler off you btw  |
