Congratulations Slowy, That's excellent news. Firing that motor the first time gives you a huge shot of motorvation. Looking forward to seeing your cheesy grin.

Rather than steel wool use stainless pot scrubbers. They have a more open structure and naturally form into a ball that can be poked up the exhaust pipe. Being stainless they wont rust or break down in a hurry. Bi-Lo has them cheap at about 60c each from memory. 3 or 4 up each side should quiet things down.

Cheers
