With the head off it is obvious that this motor has had a recent rebuild. My mate has just bought this machine and what I can't work out why he was not told anything about this work having been done. New piston, cross hatching clearly visible in the bore and there is no sideplay in the piston so why would somebody go to all this expense and work and not say a word about it to my mate. My mate doesn't know a lot about motors but is an amazing panel beater/spray painter who does the most beautiful restoration work on classic cars, he is top of the class in that area and I guess you get that way after doing this stuff for 50 years
