Good news, we have good oil pressure readings!

Took the drive belt of again this weekend, took the oil pressure line off and cleaned it. Checked the oil pressure gauge with pressed air to see if it still worked and it did. So with the oil pressure line off I spun the aux pulley until I saw oil gushing out the other end (and into a water bottle which I taped off to prevent a mess).

I then connected the oil pressure line again, spun it some more and instantly I had very good oil pressure reading on the gauge. I had my daughter checking the gauge in the car and filming it. It is a bit of a flimsy video, but I'm very happy all is good now.

Installed the JAE blue racing belt (half moon type) again and tensioned it at 100 Hz using the Gates Carbon Drive app. Now need to check static timing, recharge battery and then it is time to fire this baby up.

Thanks for your help all
