What I haven’t mentioned is that this engine was ‘overhauled’ over 45 years ago ( so the garage owner told me, he was a 7 year old when the car came in for repair, the engine stayed, the car disappeared) the grease that held the collets on assembly was still evident, the valve stems and guides show no sign of use, there was no oil in the sump it had escaped through the rust holes in the sump.
