I posted on the Austin 7 facebook group yesterday having taken my bottom end apart and found that after 5000ish miles a couple of the shells had worn quite badly. The consensus was that shells aren't great with a splash fed engine. I have Hadley 1 5/16 rods drilled as shown.
That said I also have no oil pump which certainly doesn't help. I think I will fit one now to try and improve the bearing life.
A related question, I have seen discussion about reprofiling he pick ups on phoenix cranks, could somebody post a picture of this?
