I bet you can't wait for it to leak a little oil for that "authentic" look...

No oil leak, however no oil at all to the head!
I had to take the damn thing out again at the weekend and it is back with the rebuilder to find the problem.
Just when I thought all was going well!

I will bet they did not get the front bearing right on on the jackshaft that the oil to the head goes via.
