Built it back up using the fibre gasket, engine rotating freely so it was the MLS gasket that was the problem. On checking gasket part no.s against the engine code, the MLS gasket is actually incorrect for the engine (motor factor's mistake) so at least none of this was my fault!!.

Hoorah. Does it run ... if so, drive it onto the road and call your brother :-)

Cheers,

Not running yet, maybe finish it off over the weekend then it's up to my brother to do the rest (brakes/suspension bushes). I only got involved as I had never worked on a Fiat twin-cam before (and probably never will again)
