Take it slow!

Infy, First off, welcome to the group, you have found the best place for "all things A4". Dave and Neil have given you sound advice on the "road back" on getting your engine back in service. As Neil suggested, a pressure test of the block and manifold are an imperative place to start. Once you have established that they are sound, getting it running is just a matter of making sure that you have spark and clean fuel. There are several of us who have Catalina 30s, so any of the oddities of this combination have been dealt with before. Once the galley of a C-30 is removed, working on all of the engine accessories is quite easy. By the way, your engine looks far cleaner than what mine did when I purchased it about 10 years ago. It now runs "like a watch" and is extremely dependable.
Tom
