Oily bore update... piston replacement on its way with a couple of s/h conrods to better work out which of mine have been too irregularly filed. Big find tonight... valve stems look like they have been drilled out with something very large i.e. major waggle present in all 8. This feels an immensely good find! Also other inconsistencies... standard inlets have double valve springs, or rather 3 of the 4 do. I now wonder if this engine was done by an apprentice at Usk Machining Services in 1953, who perhaps hastened its rather long term storage...
