Is that a proper brake/engine test bed? Do you build engines regularly? Looks like a nice setup...
Is it normal for the exhaust to run that hot?
lol Scotland near England, how I chuckled.

Its an ex cosworth (1000bhp) dyno in a machine shop called engine services on the out skirts of Edinburgh the photo was taken with the lights off the
shutter speed was 3 seconds! they can do almost anything with any engine they build a lot of pintos for stock cars, me its the first full build! the
engine was putting out 160bhp and we are developing an engine management system at the same time.
Engine services number is 0131 4400201 ask to speak to Alec.

Where did you get your rocker cover with filler cap at the back from? Or did you modify it your self?

Greggors,
Europa Spares sell alloy rocker covers, not sure if that is where macspeedy got his but they look very similar. They sell them with the filler either
at the front or rear
