Thanks Jack and thanks guys

I know Wilf, hes a great guy, what you would call an ambassador for the club.

I have the parts unfortunately and with the cost being in excess of £11,000 I dont want to skimp on the last bits.

Engineers and engine builders over here ddont tend to angle mill, so I think it is more inexperience in the issues rather than a no no. Kenny coleman is a builder of known repute over here, and he has never done it so I prefer to keep clear and settle with parallel mill and 9.5 to 1.

The reason the issue came up is the unit I brought in is a mowtown with piston dishes a bit ilke Mare Equilibrium on the moon so its virtually impossible to get adecent CR withoy going OTT. I will try it I think and see how she is mannered.

Thanks again guys
Mike.
