1986 D reg 420se NCK10

thanks, was it actually stamped like that or nck 010?

Mine is but is buried under grease, or buried under a ton of crap in my office (on the V5) but if I get a chance will take a look.

It's originally a 1989 400SE then was made into an SX, I think 145 isn't far off...

[Mr WST]

Good point I can't remember!

thanks adam, interesting, when you turned it into an sx was that purely a bolt on addition or any internal changes done/ compression lowered? stronger rods/ anything like that? big/worthwhile mod?

just about to add you to the list and noticed that i have nck4 and nck6 and they were given to me like that without the zero so perhaps the nck10 was right after all, thanks again.

I had a 400SE some years ago. A 1992 J plate with engine number starting 47A.....
Also owned (although I would rather forget !) a 390SE 1985 model with engine number (if I recall correctly) ARE TVR 018.
Hope that is of some interest ! :-)

just added your two to my list and you had both the earliest and the latest i have been told of!

It wasn't me it was Dennis Priddle and Dave Haughin wot did it back in the day... probably 1990.

The compression is lowered a little with thicker head gaskets.

Other than that the block is stock, but there are quite a few ancillaries and pipes that are different.
