Finally making some progress. (been a way on hol)
got a stage 3 head from morspeed and some 1-5-1 forged rockers.

anyway looks like the reason i had all the trouble with the blow through was a hole in the piston! cr to high, hense the head. im also having my 21253s machened upt0 bout 15cc.
anyone tell me the pros and cons of this?

also had to get a new clucth. the avonbar "heavy duty" one sliped. yet again they rip me off. not bad enough that i paid £190 for a set of 21253s when i could have got the from minispares for bout £120 youve been warned!
