The noise will go away once you warm it up and drive it a bit...I would not worry.

Mine makes a hell of a din if it's been sitting. We just use Castrol 10/60.

Yeah just put the Castrol in and see what happens.
I know it's 210 at the fly. I'm only making about 200, hence my comment.
I always run a camera. You never can tell when the action is about to start.
Sorry to hear about your brother.
What did you end up doing about accom?

Check the level of your oil too. They don't like it when the level get's lower!

That suck about your brother. Hope he's OK
If its just going to be you, you should cancel your accommodation and stay with Cal.
You should be nervous as its a big stage to F%ckup on

210 hp, I wish!
Seriously. my stock motor with 140,000ks on it, would be lucky to have 120hp at the flywheel
I use the Castrol Edge 10w/60 as well and it is pretty noisy on startup until the oil gets to the top of the engine.
Sorry, to hear about your brother, hope he's ok.
The offer of the bed at my place is still open if you need it.

By the way Brett, what camera did you end up putting in the car?

I'm pretty keen on the Go Pro units myself, have you used it yet to see how it goes?
That's an awesome offer mate, thanks. I am seriously tempted, would love a crack at the creek. I'll talk the other half and see what sort of response I get. I'll PM you soon.
