... yes i still have one

The old 2.1 block and gubbins were sent back down to AGRA (after going missing for a week

)

They still claim it is bored correctly, and that wallace fitted the wrong bore cometic gasket.

Wallce arent convinced, but will start getting the block built with parts they bought for it a few weeks ago. They are now seeking a second opinion on the whole saga.

Man...

sell what.... an engine in bits? A shell with no engine?

Its not worth selling to be honest

I dont need the 4k i could possibly get for it.... and selling it would be even more of a waste of cash than doing it
