Although, given his current situation with the car, I guess he could always go back and drop a log on BCA's doorstep as payback hehe

Hi

I have a Westfield se narrow body running on a 1600 cross flow with a twin choke webber, the engine needs a rebuild but wasn't sure weather to change it out for a more modern engine or rebuild it.

don't know what modern engine would fit to the cross flow bell housing any suggestions?

I think that can be spelt with a "c" or an "s" ... it certainly can be when referring to a window cill in a house

It's a historic variant of "sill", commonly used in the context of buildings. Sill is by far the more common term, and the one used by motor manufacturers, regulators and testers.

And "cill" doesn't seem to exist in American English, so we can't blame them for it. http://www.collinsdictionary.com/spellcheck/americ...

It is a perfectly valid comparison. The EU does bare more than a passing resemblance to Hitler's vision for Europe.
