Building a hot vintage engine with Jonny69

Yes HS2's. Doubt I'll gain that much out of this old boat anchor though :D

Cheers for the recommendation to ML Motorsport though, I'll be looking them up when the time comes :)
 
Yup, it's well dead :)

Drove it to Chelmsford at the weekend and I noticed it started breathing really heavily on the way back. Yesterday night the knocking noises started followed by smokescreen and there seems to be as much coming out the breather pipe as out the exhaust :D

Guess I've just been hammering it too much :(
 
Ok, so missed a bit which I posted in a different thread for some reason but one can view the damage here

Roll forwards a few months and the engine is back in, run in and I've been using it daily. I've cured the detonation which was a combination of running lean and the ignition way too far advanced. A few goodies went in with the new engine namely the lightened flywheel, new clutch and a new head so I could try soemthing else with the flow.

Oh and overnight something funny seems to have appeared under my desk.
