Hi guys finally after a few engine removals and a crank regrind, rebore, lighted flywheel, fully balanced crankshaft, re built short engine and fully worked head by Benross, it's all back in one piece and running nice, just took it for its mot test and has past ok. Will be taking it to its first show of the year on Sunday, the Sheffield mini club show all things being well. Alan

To finalise this thread the mini is all finished now. Took it to my local mini club show and it won a trophy which I was very pleased about. Then I took it for its first real run out it ran great one or two little niggles but nothing that can't be put right.

This is the trophy I won.

These where taken by a club mate. Thanks Jamie.

And finally a big thankyou to Benross for the work done on the cylinder head and for building the short engine.

Here's the spec of the engine.
