Circa 200 rpm - maybe a world's strongest man feat when it comes to the UK?

I think its one of these engines that a Friend rebuilt sometime last year in a MF tractor, a complete engine rebuild kit which was everything but the crank, block rods and head casting from memory was circa £350 off ebay from a supplier in Shropshire IIRC.
We let a local engine remanufacturers sort the liners and head, worked lovely afterwards, starting on the button once bled through.

Yeh I had an old bomag vib roller with a hand start and an auto de-comp, it was bazztard to start from cold I used to remove the belt from the vib shaft and my stil saw blade head use a longer belt and pull back on the saw till belt was tight enough to drive the engine, rev up the saw and she was away ( it would start on the handle when warm ) had to use it a lot to resurface my drive n got tissed off going through the starting pallarva, so stripped it to find the rings where worn to half their thickness, a hone and a re-ring cost £15 and she started off the handle every time !
diesels do get addicted to easy start some more than others.
i've re rinnged countless engines often you can just clean the pistons up, hone the bores fit the new rings an your good to go.
found that easystart seems to snap rings and sometimes crack the pistons, had massive problems with all the small diesels on one farm when one of the lasy polish just started useing easy start on everything.
got to the point that some of the pump engines were inpossible to start no amount of fire and or easy start would get them to go, even got to the point of starting them with a rope wraped round pullys and tied to back of the truck was inpossible. 500 hours and ****ed
easy start is now under lock and key i also throw heavy things at anyone who asks for it
