Was changing the water pump on my five the other day and managed to snap one of the bolts off in the head :mad:
So, my decision is now, swap the head ... or, as I've just lifted a rebuilt (and not yet run) engine out of my other five do I go the whole hog and swap them over completely (and try to address the intermittent spark problem at the same time)
The other block has Piper 285, l+b bottom end, steel liners, new pistons, reground crank, etc.
By the way, I'll put something up in the classifieds, but if anyone wants bodywork, panels, glass my tungy 5 is going to the scrappy (the shell is rotten)
