Hi

Glad it all works ok, did you get the cold start sorted?

Bubbling may mean head gasket (sorry) but its not too bad a job.

I ran a temp guage from vehicle wiring products and a warning light for the oil (I think I left that wire labled up for you.) If the head gasket is gone you'll soon see as it will overheat.

Other than that just have fun and keep polishing the exhaust.
