Rick and others,
Many thanks for al the help, puts me in the right direction with the modifications.
The oiling mods may have to wait as the engine is complete and in the car and I didn’t really want to do a complete strip, however I didn't know about the ARP rod bolts. Although the engine has only been together a short time the bits were purchased abut 10 years ago so I'm not sure when this detail with ARP came in.
If you get to the UK in September make Goodwood a must, doesn’t worry about period wear, about 20% don’t, but it is a lot more fun.
They don’t do it any more but they once flew a Spitfire down the main straight, after someone decided it was a bit too near the mark.

As for selling the wife, I thought that is what eBay was for?
Cheers
