Ok, I finally got the cooling system to flow properly - and it was a very old school method of doing it. As the thermostat wasn't opening early enough, I drilled 2 4mm holes in it to allow water to flow through it at a reduced rate before it opens by itself.

I was busy all weekend so didn't get any time on it, but have tomorrow off, when i will change the oil and filter, and re-assemble the completed nosecone onto it.

I also want to sort out the loose fitting bonnet and charge the battery, and then it should be good to go.

It's only 3 1/2 weeks to go now before it makes it's track debut at Llandow!

HI, just wondered how you went about doing the wiring on this engine? Cheers

Hi Mark, the wiring for the M60 engine is really easy actually, as everything to make it run is contained entirely on the engine loom, it's simply a case of supplying power to it, and connecting the fuel pump. Just take care and be systematic when removing it from your donor vehicle.
