if the same price, spec etc. id rather buy a 100k miles car compare to one thats done just 60miles. so i fail to see how its going rise the price in anyway it would of been a bargaing tool if anything.

I know bud as the ad says I'm just testing the water see if someone wants to take on a project as I'm struggling to find time to do it

After several timewasters and jokers I've decided to keep it (deep down I thought I would) and at the weekend I got stuck into it., head off and pistons out.
Pistons and rings ok however cyl 2 ring gaps were all in line, GENIOUS!!!
I took the head to my work to replace the stem seals since I have a head set, these were also meant to have been done. NOPE. the seals I've been raking out have no way done 800miles. Chancing c**t!
I'm in the middle of doing the stem seals and re grinding the valves in. I will start a build thread when I can get pics off my phone to my laptop

Tell me bout it! I remember when I did mine a few years back, I was at it for hours, it wasnt untill I got to the last few that I realised I could adjust the spring compressor for easy access to the retainer and cotters, flew through the rest
