Hi Folks,

I'm only 20 mins fae Dundee & can check if eng/box actually exists & is 2.2 lump. We may only be looking at one of the many dodgy dealing Dundonians, who have reputation similar to Scousers, bar less capacity fer work & more capacity for seeming dodgy!

Anybody ken the form of and range of serial numbers for the 110 block/head for 1959 or thereabouts?

I can mic up the crank & look at bores, but presume both will need machined.

Anyone got specs/tolerances for both, as well as machining limits?

Which carbs should be with it?

Where do I look for cracks or other near-terminal problems with block & head?

In the meantime, we'll see what happens if I try to arrange to view!

Rob
