This is the 1st (and 2nd) start of the V8 after changing all the valve seals, cambelt etc.. Its sounds SWEET!

This is the latest engine replacing the one that put its valves through the head and a piston. So far so good :)

I have loaded a MSQ on to the Megasquirt MS2 V3 of the car. This was from a non - turbo 4.2l V8 ABZ road tuned car. It started really well and sounds great, but it was running very rich. Hopefully if I back off the fuel a bit I will have a good tune file to start from.

I have overlaid the sound of the engine and a video sync'd (as best I could) with what the engine/ecu was doing. No real value, but interesting none-the-less

I have changed the auxiliary belt idler pulley/bearing and the sound is awesome now, Before much of the noise was grating metal, now its just power :)
