What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Today I torqued the cylinder head nuts down to 20 ft/lb, filled the radiator with water and went for a 60 mile scenic drive to Malton and back, dodging the odd cloudburst.  The car is back to its former self, cruising comfortably at 45mph with 50 easily available.   On getting back home I retightened the head nuts whilst the engine was hot.  I was very pleased to see that there was not a drop of oil on either side of the crankcase after some quite hard use.
