If you are finding things you are not happy with one can only presume you will find more as you dig deeper.

Paying to have the engine built is not an option, so I shall be doing it myself, seeking guidance when I can. The whole engine is now apart and, to be honest, there does not seem to be too mcu that is really bad about it; more, a number of irritating things: the missing oil pressure relief valve, the valves which all had different size, over-sized stems and three big ends with shells and one with white metal. The rest seems to be just wear and tear. So far.............

"over-sized stems and three big ends with shells and one with white metal."

I wouldn't have said that these are minor 'bad'  things

 

I agree: I was trying to be optimistic. Tongue in cheek comments are so hard to convey on a forum. The valves were a real nuisance as it took me a fair while to realise why I could not get them back into the new guides. The odd con rod has been replaced, as has the block which had water damage, pitting going right through the liners into the main block.....

Still, the sump looks good.

Jamie.
