Thomas & Jack have started Old Red's engine rebuild........this is the only block at 1320 which matched the stock Wosssner forged piston to wall clearance requirement.

Paul and Thomas remembered that this crank has always been in Old Red from day one.........so that must be well over 500 1/4 mile passes 30k road miles and about 6 track days.


 

This was a solid lump of ally yesterday

Unfortunatley when Thomas & Scott got to work this morning they found that the workshop was under water........which you would think is bad enough but then they looked in the dyno pit and found our worst nightmare had happened 29 inches of water




Thankfully Matt & Tour de Force has offered the use of his Superflow rolling road which is about 10-15 mins away.....so business as usual :)

Floof & Brownpants of Rooster Racing fame have been here yesterday and today with there Rotrex powered MINI.........this MINI was a bare galvanised un-sealed shell 18 months ago.



 

Jack has passed the barbecue test even in 0c deg temps
