I am building my engine at the moment. To seal threads I am using this Loctite PTFE stuff that comes on a stick. I think this is the stuff but need to check when I am home: https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-504467-Th...B0015PJCHG
I wouldn't use actual PTFE tape in an A7 engine. And bits that break off could easily bung up one of the little oil ways or jets.
I thought it wasn't good to run a new A7 engine without a proper load on it? It's an issue I will have. The engine needs to be running to get the car road legal but I can't run in the engine properly until the car is on the road. Obviously I am a bad Austin 7 owner for only having one and not having another car to swap engines about in
