Hi All,
Got all the missing parts, assembled and have now run. Work well, you can now see the oil traveling in the tube to the inlet. Still running rich in the idle mid range, idle needle had be opened up 5 turns by the previous owner, don't know why. Could not run much with the old bearings, now will finish up the settings and then fit to aircraft.
Hobbsy, I all ready had the gaskets, ordered them with the bearings before disassembly, and that is when I found the bad cam. Can be seen running at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z46...ature=youtu.be closeup of tube to see flow at 3:20




Cheers
Andrew
