John, having discussed this with bruvver Pete, we thought the same, dry bores. And so, exactly as you described, I put oil down the bores, left this overnight and worked it up and down on the handle, but with the same result when started her up.
I will not be able to get in the garage now for a few days now but will try checking the bolt on the starter motor, this was not fitted when the engine was out on the bench. It would be great if it is, I did go out and check after Ruairidh made his initial comment but could see no evidence of any fresh marking on the flywheel.
I will let you know
Thanks folks
