Customer here! That engine has done over 105k miles now and survived half a broken rivet going through it (the piston damage!), and was making over 180hp at 8000rpm. It went to James because of high oil consumption, slight loss of compression on a cylinder, and an overheating issue. I've only just completed the running in miles but so far it's smoother, quieter, and just as zingy as ever. One of the reasons I chose James was after watching some of these videos and seeing the attention to detail that goes into the work, and I'm incredibly pleased with the outcome so far. It'll be on the dyno soon for a final check before getting a thrashing on track again. Videos of it in action on my channel!

Lovely work as always mate. You still operating out of both shops? Look forward to seeing you soon. By the way, that ratty RS Van engine was put on a dyno recently & pulled a healthy 349hp

@Grace Engine Developments James thank you for the reply, I am trying to develop a main seal conversion from a Holden 6 cly . Engines. I can get custom made ones but price is prohibiting, trying to find a of the self item . Line boring and hone : The motor had been bore and honed previously ( 250 kilometres) I made 3 steel main bearing caps which were faced , left a 5 thousand machining allowances. Was charged 7.5 hours for bore and hone gathering information on this job! Thanks for your help. Kit from Down Under .
