I managed 7 years with the ulster rep until it really went loose and dropped the rods. Mind you I was chasing Dave wilcox in the speedy to Curborough at the time! That was just a bodge up engine. Have now rebuilt and used a quarry engineering rebuilt top end complete with new pistons. Bottom end was a standard Austin crank crack tested and ground by Tony Betts. Rods were white metalled by John Kirkby and then I found a ruby head to finish it off. Also to add we had the front lip on the crankcase repaired and that was all completed in 2012. Steady miles and not thrashing the daylights off it she’s still good today.
