At last after nearly 28 years, yes that's right!! its running and I have been up the Beacons for a run. couldn't sort out the engine myself but a massive thanks to Ralph Ferrand who sorted it after many curved balls were thrown. Tip if you don't know already, don't blast outside of engine even if you think its sealed up properly. This idiot obviously did!!

If Ralphy's involved - it's probably a tap fitted to a barrel of cider

If Ralph posted a photo of a crank I bought with the con rods out of line then possibly so? Unbelievable but that's what I was sold by quite a large dealer in second hand Z spares. And welded at that?
