Thanks Stuart and Zeto
I think I am pretty safe going for pinch bolt, with the back up that I can get floating in the unlikely event that I need them.
my hope is to build up the new block and head (new pistons onto existing con rods) and then swap it over with the existing tired one to freshen up the top end of the engine.
I have been looking longingly at the one on ebay for £775 and thinking that's not a bad price when I add up all the work and bits I will be getting done. But then its more fun to do it yourself and I shall learn so much more in the process.
