Ok. Jeff
You best let me know what the stroy is before she rings.
So I get it it straight

Ps I will ring Wayne swan and get some pointers on
How to avoid a direct question
And still give a meaningless off subject answer.

How bad was the compression Jethro.
Mine was not great but was very consistent.
Hope to start getting mine stripped ready to have it removed soon.
Having trouble finding time but but need to get it done.
Will look forward to see how yours progresses.

Hey Craig,
1/ 8:1 pistons fitted...
2/ 7 rods polished and balanced other was stock.
3/ One head double hump other was standard however had the valves machined to suit.
4/ Rear mains seal, one half put in backwards so the sealing lip was in fact a wiper seal.
5/ Front timing cover was slightly bent where it had been prised off perviously.
6/ End float on crank had not been set up correct and chewing out / uneven wear metal slippers
yadd, yadda, yadda.... long and short is the motor internals looked fairly clean and in fact it had been rebuilt not long before however after being rebuilt it has appeared to have thrown a leg and fooked a head and the sump would also confrims i.e the damage as it's been welded and panel betted! Someone has then done a quick tidy up and thus :mad::mad::mad::mad: not to worry I'll get it sorted, just a little bit more time and money that what I expected.....ah, isn't that always the way:pat::pat::pat::pat:

Wow Jethro
Amazing what can be hidden in the term "full resto"
Well at least it will be better when your done and you will know exactly what's what.
