As this thread is going to be read by newbies, and refers to the new Practical Classics guide, I just thought I'd say that I (as an engine beginner) thought it was a very valuable publication for getting your head around engine things. Very basic questions are anticipated and answered. I'd be interested to know if others with greater knowledge respect what it conveys. Some of the articles are older and not date-quoted, but I presume their costings must be up to date.
The main thing - I noticed, merlinart, was that a couple of the engines featured in cars in that mag had exactly the same spec as mine... which had been built by a good "non-Austin 7" engineer, having read the back section of the 750 Club green book designed for extracting more out of the unit and overcoming inadequacies of splash lubrication and so on.
