TRW, not TWR, is a major automotive parts manufacturer.

Interesting comments but I have no doubt what so ever that this engine will go. The head is good, the block is good, crank case good, gaskets are no problem, camshaft can be linished same as the crank. 4-5 places in Adelaide that make white metal bearings, I am currently making a new sump and riser. It's just a couple of pistons to get made or I might be able to get a full S/H set for 500 dollars and a bit of machining here and there so I really don't feel quite too concerned about its repair. It will take me the next three days for the riser and three more for the sump. I'll post some pics when they're done. It's a bit exciting and we'll be in New Zealand in three weeks or so.

Well that news is a quantum leap forward for you, Colin!

Is there anything Vickers related to look at in New Zealand while you are there? A shed full of NOS parts, perhaps?

Love it ! if you don't quit Colin, you cant fail.

I know it's been a while between postings but I had a job to do for some one so here's where I am now.

This part is the riser in between the sump and the crank case.

This is certainly going to add some extra weight.
