It's the neighbours 90th so she a ranged a party for her but she has given me a weekend pass . Bringing my brother though - he is into motorbikes - well armchairs as he rides a Honda gold wing . I hope to let him see how proper men (and women ) socialise

 

Hi
I'm coming for my first time and I am in need of advice.
I have been told that the Barrels and pistons need taking out and resealing and my engine is leaking oil from the head, the head needs reconditioning or replacing, may need new barrels etc, or that they can be ground out or even a top end rebuild.
Knowing nothing about engines I want to check with you lot that this correct, I hate being ripped off !!!!! as I have been quote over £1000
So advice is sort,

 

Several people will be happy to swarm all over that and give you advice

 

Dosnt really matter with the m6 South bound it's a horror anytime of day.

 

Haha, MrsMonkey is a founding member of TLB Prosecco Drinkers Club so will certainly be there!
In fact she'll probably be driving Chip down sometime on Friday as I have to run across to Grantham in the T3 early Friday morning, hopeful of getting to Victoria Farm at a reasonable time Friday evening.
Looking forward to catching up...

 

We can soon tell u quick compression test will give u a rough idea !!

You have just broken it

Mine is all being used at the mo but I'd whip it out
