Many thanks[Image: huh.png]

I know of 2 Austin Eight blocks which are available. Could it be that they are the same? Surely someone knows, but I have never had a Big Seven or an Eight.

I have an Austin Big Seven and have just done a valve grind and recut the seats- quite easy if you have one or buy a cutter. My valve springs were all different lengths so bought a new set. Inlet valve stems were also worn so bought a new set but originals are not available so Robin supplied the nearest alternative and I had to have the width turned down a bit.if the engine is in situ it's a real pig to get the collets back in position. Had to glue them to a pair of wire strippers in the end.
