What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Took the engine and gearbox out of the RP yesterday and today made a start at the strip-down. Once the head came off it was obvious that there would be more needed than just a change of block/crankcase studs. Bores 3 & 4 showing signs of oil burning with pistons a bit "shoogly" (that's Glaswegian for excessive movement) so as Ian suggested, time for a proper refreshment. Bores are +.030 so no worries on that score. Someone not that far from the Antonine wall may be getting something in the post in the near future...
