Just got the bought-at-the-National 948 engine installed in the Traveller, (with the bores being unworn, and having checked the big ends were new I decided it really had been rebuilt, and to risk the rest of it being fine as well) it fired after a couple of turns, giving a solid 60psi on the oil gauge (probably a little higher, 60psi was the limit of that gauge....) , and sounding very sweet - great improvement on the old engine, looking forwards to tearing that down and seeing just how knackered that one was!
