Dave just came round, his baggy's engine is in bits (started using a lot of oil), we think the oil control ring had worn out, anyway whilst he's got it stripped, barrel and head have gone to Slipstream for a 680cc conversion and a quick gas flow, they recon it should be good for 50-55 BHP at the back wheel once done  . |

Sorry Kieth, the barrel is already at Slipstream racing, for a 102mm piston, and the head gas flowed, that will make it 686cc and give it a bit more oomph  |

The story continues... after receiving my head and barrel back from Slipstream, the rebuilding frenzy got underway, once completed and with great excitement the starter was thumbed!
Shock-horror!!, there was a woodpecker in there, yes in my engine, strange I thought, can't remember one being in there before, seems the high compression piston was just a bit to much for the half knackered small end, and it just couldn't cope.
Long story short.. Back to Slipstream for a new conrod, crank re-build, also while it's apart I'm having a taller 1st gear.
Watch this space... |

Boysie went and got the engine on Sat morning, I helped him fit it before I had to shoot off, he should be back on the road soon....
should be a little flier (once run in). |
