So far I have...

1. Torn down the complete engine including rings and bearings etc to bare block.
2. Checked and cleaned all parts and changed anything that was worn.
3. Used new gasket set and refreshed the engine.
4. Painted most parts, blued most bolts/nuts and made some cosmetic improvements...
5. Checked the diaphragm on the injector pump and filled it with fresh oil.
6. I started it as shown in the pics on the engine stand.

The next step is to clean the engine bay and "refresh" it too and drop the engine.

Now, started the engine on the stand and its a runaway now!!! does not want to idle less than max rpm!

From STALLING to MAX revving... any NEW suggestions?

Thanks, HEAPS.

PS: Pics for viewing pleasure . Also, I did make a video of the complete process of "Refreshing" the engine and once edited will upload.
Its the orange paint!

Just kidding.
