  6. Thanks again for the info guys, please bear in mind I know literally NOTHING about engines or the parts so all info is helpful.

    I will mention the advice regarding fuel filter etc to the garage as well.

    Please keep the advice coming

  10. to start simple, mate , when you said the engine has been taken care of, can/will you say what has been done ?i.e. heads ? and barrels ? was a comp. test done ?if yes , have you the results ? ta
     
  11. It's a twin port so I would be a little worried that your garage think it isn't! Just be careful you don't get taken for a ride, it's why this forum is so useful
