Hmm mine was built by Steve Milton and when this kids originally went wrong i said send it to steve and he decided to do his own thing and its fucked up again. I would say he has not really learned from others problems has he Could have saved him a further rebuild and a good few hundred quid. Still some never learn from others do they

I know I'm hardly impartial in this but.....

Pistons £450
Zlet pump and pickup £300
Clutch and flywheel £650

That's £1400 before you have even added the ARP's, rebuilt Coscast head, Cometic gasket, rebored block etc etc.

pistons where standards, sold them on but not for much, rods killed them the other week, oil pump killed that , everything in the head has been changed
