exhaust finally complete...3" tube is more difficult to work with than I thought.. The bend radii are big...and threaten to run into things you hadn't planned...

This is a "first start" video of my Alfa Romeo 155 Q4's new engine. Yes, i don't leave it 'started' for very long! I had forgotten to attach the hose that goes from the 'idle auxiliary air input valve' to the other side of the inlet manifold - resulting in too much air going in :) - but once that was sorted it purred like a kitten. Thanks to Ray for lending me all his tools and Mal for being there on the big day!
