I always steer clear of religion and politics, but as far as the white metalling goes I have my rods booked in with Ian Burlngham at Malton, so I think I'm in safe hands.
Zetomagtneto said "Check small ends for wear, as Bob Foreman says there is so little material it makes it difficult, or perhaps inadvisable to bush them". I think Bob was meaning it was inadvisable to address wear by machining the little ends oversize to fit oversize pins.
I am a bit foxed foxed here. I haven't got the engine out of the car yet so I haven't seen the rods, but being fully floating gudgeon pins I had imagined the little ends would be bushed anyway, and so any wear could be addressed by renewing the bushes, always assuming the rods are otherwise sound?
