Hi Alex, The car has beeb setup, but there is a lot more development to come. It is running nice now. Starts first touch of the button, idles at around 900rpm, but there is still a lot more banana's to come.

Tom, you can have a drive no problem mate. Apart from the gearbox, the engine is really sweet!

thanks guys, yea I suppose this is an ideal time to say thanks to those that have helped me.

So massive thanks to Dave Coxon (turbodave),
Endaf Owens
and Huw Beynon.

There is a certain engine builder in the Leicester claiming that he has built this engine, can I just say that he hasn't. Just to set the record staright.....
All end plates etc where drawn up by Dave, waterjet by a local company to me (SMF). The block boring, decking, and head skim was also done in Cardiff by south wales pistons ltd. Conrods lightened by Carl Austin. Pistons machined by Endaf Owens. Exhaust Manifold, and inlet manifold made by myself and tigged by Endaf. Plenum Chamber and intercooler, and water piping by Dave and myself. Short motor engine build was done at Huw Beynons workshop in southwales.
Mapping done by Dave walker.

Apart from the mapping and the conrods everything ws done in south wales, and nothing was done in Leicester

I assume this came from a trusted source?

All you can do is make something VERY visible on your engine - like those stickers / plaques peeps sometimes fit.

Maybe:

This was not built by XXXX. They had nothing to do with it. Anything else is a lie. FACT.

well a few people actually said to me at combe, is this the engine that mr xxx had build, I said now, where did you here that from?? they said from mr xxx.

Also an employee of one of the largest chain of mini shops in the uk spoke to me and said that customers had been telling him this too. He knew this was a lie and spoke to me driectly about it.
