At the moment have only workshop run the 85c Engine I bought from Bristol Cars but in view of this topic I asked Brian at Bristol Cars for his advice, he suggested 150 and 500 miles , in the past I have checked after the first run to full temp , at around 250 and 500 miles but this was with the gaskets available at the time.
I am lucky as I have the correct spanners, before the car is run on the road I will do a quick check, if any of the nuts pull up then they will all be done as per the book, a bit of a pain but worth it.
Geoff.
