    I was going to run it for 30 mins initially at about 1-1.5k, drain the oil, refill, filter change and drive it for 1000km while varying revs, another oil change then after that its game on.
    IMO and should be taken with a grain of salt.

    Just drive it mate.

    Start it initially letting it run while you do a check for leaks or anything odd etc. Then shut down and re check fluids.

    Then just drive it. You need varying load on it from the get go to bed the rings in as best as possible. Dont put excessive load on and dont sit at no load rpm for to long. Then do your oil and filter change at 500-1000km

    Maybe just up Cambewarra and back before the going the whole way. Incase an unforseeable issue arrises. You're still relatively close to home.

    Engine is installed and started first go. Mind you it ran very poorly, but when advancing the distributor it ran better until I realised I needed to advance the distributor an extra tooth on the drive gear. Did this and it ran perfectly. Oil pressure is good. Everything was promising until I saw coolant leaking from behind the block. It's not leaking from the head or any hoses. I fear it's leaking from a welsh plug on the rear of the block. This is a pain as I replaced all the welsh plugs, but did have slight troubles installing one of the rear ones. I feel defeated.
    I'm not sure if I should chemiweld it or remove the transmission and replace the welsh plug again. What does everything else think?

    Do not put chemi weld in a new motor.

    I know its a pain but I would pull the motor back out. Its all fresh in your head so shouldnt be to much of a job. Annoying but you have come this far and always seem to do everything else to a high standard.

    You are correct, And I've decided to pull the motor out and fix it properly. Doing things half arsed will only leave me feeling unsatisfied and worried whether it will last or not.

    Welsh plugs replaced and engine reinstalled and running. Didn't take as long to get in this time. Started it up and no more leaks. I'm so glad I did it properly and not half arsed. It turned out both welsh plugs in the rear of the block were leaking. I also managed to score 4 brass welsh plugs for free from our local auto shop so this only cost me time.
    Tomorrow I'll give it a proper drive.
