Sounds great. One comment though - I had the same sound that happens at 1:31 when I started up my rebuilt engine for the first time, however mine seems to recur every 30 seconds or so at idle. I haven't run the engine at idle for more than a few minutes though, it sounds absolutely horrendous - any idea what causes it?
Do you mean the squealing noise? I'm as certain as I can be that it was the generator (dynamo) belt slipping, probably because the generator was working hard. I've deliberately set the tension on the belt as low as possible so as to put the minimum force on the water pump bearing. I haven't heard it slipping again.
