Andy Turner 01132784003. Based in Leeds and has spent his life building V8 rover engines for racing in stock cars and he rebuilt my white S1 350 engine 2 years ago. He also looks after one or two other wedges!

You will not regret dealing with this man!

Can I ask where you got the rebuild kit from? Is it good practice to replace liners on a rebuild - or leave well alone if they are ok?

yes If your going to the trouble of giving the block to an engineering company to replace the liners then get them to put top hat ones in deffo.

& while its there get the bottom end cross bolted.
