Well a new year, a new engine... Yup a new engine (sigh). After a little bit of cleaning, I found out that the engine wasn't a 1330 but was a 1301 (+030)! This basicly means the engine wasn't cut to a standard size and has (what I've been told are) crap pistons (21251's). The Engine would require a rebore, new pistons, balancing amongst other things.

So after a lot of thought, shopping around & playing with numbers, I decided it would be cheaper and better to get a half engine kit from Morspeed. Work on the main engine is on hold while I save up. So I thought I'd do some work on the cylinder head & start to strip/clean the sub-frames...
