No it ran for about three min, then a sudden stop and a squeak, I thought of the hydraulic lock full of coolant I'll check that tomorrow , I thought I'd check the socket on the crank tomorrow when things have cooled down abit thinking the internals may have shrunk here's hoping, blood dizzy I think may have not sat in the oil pump drive shaft properly, I don't know
