Thank you Spud. Will have a look through your thread. Also, will I be ok if I ever get stuck to just drop you a message?

 

Of course - the world and his wife seem to

 

If there has been water in the bottom end, I would flush the crankcase out with petrol and spray water dispersant (GT85/WD40) on the crank bearings. turn the crank over slowly and make sure it is silky smooth, any notichness and the crank bearings are probably rusty or shot!

Thank you spud, you are a star. Much appreciated. As for the other comments, I do build car engines for a living for the biggest car manufacturer. It's about experience not what you study.
