    Oh b*gger mate! Think you just got a very expensive paperweight there. Can you make one good one out of the two? The head should be ok at least, with a bit of b*ggering about with cleaning up the valves and seats. Can be done if you take time and care trust me! But like you say I wouldn’t rush to trust the bottom end if that’s what you’ve found in the sump…
    I don’t use ebay, too afraid of being similarly stung, but have you any form of redress?
    Good luck anyway.

    The thing I was always told was that only those too lazy to find the correct size of spanner use an adjustable.

    Very true, and in the long run you’ll only make life harder for yourself…

    Found a stash of useful and free MG parts, and spent a pleasant day in the sun fitting some of them 😀

    I can vouch for parts of aircraft being buried on purpose. If you go to 40 Hilltop Road, Forres, Moray, and start digging about three feet from the southern gable end, you’ll find a prop blade from Argosy XP439!

    Now who left that there….?!

    Love it! That’s another one of the bl**dy things off the road. Like the person filming it’s slight understatement at the end :D:D
