Cheers Chris.

Got tracking and camber done at the same time as the MOT.

She feels lovely and like a dog on a leash, I must be patient though !!

Cheers,

I have done a bare block rebuild with overbore to 1.9, new bearings, pumps, etc

The original block was bored as a racing, flat out all the time engine with 6 thou clearance - the result was a powerful unit that used too much oil, a litre every 250 miles :-(
I am a perfectionist, so it just had to be done again !!

Cheers,
Ade

Did you do it yourself or somewhere local, as I might need to get mine rebuilt over the winter - but keep it all standard?

Yep, all myself - well apart from the block bore, found a great little engineering shop in Stoke that do not build engines, just do the machining.
