blown engine joy

[Ian Williams]

I am one who returned a sports engine from sitting under the bench to regular use the car, in my case the engine was removed in the sixties and sat unused until I purchased the car. It think times have changes since those heady days, we have far better part's available now and thank goodness for that. When I stripped my engine I discovered several issues worst of them was a seriously cracked crank, had it stayed in the car it would have broken potentially destroying the rest of the engine. Today things are different we have quality new components available thanks to suppliers like Tony which allow these engines to be returned to use. But I would say thank goodness our forbearers had the insight to preserve these engines until such time they could be recommissioned properly.
