Engine coming apart tomorrow afternoon, down to Jay at Modus for re-bore and pistons, crank polish, new shells. Then back to me for re-build and back in the car.
This constitutes the total sum of my winter work.
Brakes are being re-furbed by BCS in Nottingham and should be back first week of March.
Will post engine internal pics once it comes apart tomorrow.
So first order of business, rugby was on, so this had to go up.

And

So for a long time I thought I had an oval bore on number 1, however it appears that this might have been the cause.

Looks like a broken oil control ring on number 1, all this lot is off to Jay tomorrow morning for full inspection and he'll tell me if it need a re-bore or not, with any luck as it's a spare engine it wont need a re-bore, it'll just need a set of rings and some shells and we'll be back rolling in 2 weeks time.
I'll be back with an update once I've spoken to Jay tomorrow.
Team shonky style is run a drill hone tool down it and ram a second hand piston in there. What's wrong with you?
Whole day off for surgery? You gay or something
Super jobbie, tinkering goodness. Up at Blyton Park all today playing with Pauls 1600cc in preparation for the rally there next week. Team Shonky will live again mon ami.
