Pretty sure it is applicable to the 1147 as well, seeing as how I lost =
countless engines to #3 rod bearings melting down and requesting exit =
via the side of the block.=20

The first and most important thing on a 1300 is to make the middle oil =
feed passage larger. It serves cylinders 2 and 3 while the other two oil =
passages (front and rear) serve only 1 cylinder. You will end up with a =
grenade going off in your race engine eventually if that one thing is =
not done. Ask me how I know.=20

Hello Everyone,=20

=20

I am a new member and new to racing Spitfires.  In fact, my first =
experience with racing, competition school in Waterford MI, didn't  end =
well for my engine (see attachment).

=20

I am planning to rebuild an extra small journal 1300 and I am requesting =
advise from the very knowledgeable people on this site.  I have all the =
spare engine parts I could ever need and a great machine shop near by so =
mainly I am interested on advice on where to buy parts( pistons, rods =
,rings etc..).

=20

There are many sources on the internet but since I have never built one =
of these before I am interested in your input.

=20

Also, while I'm at it, I would like to improve my transmission and =
rearend.  I am open to anything from minor improvement to a complete =
swap of my transmission or rearend.

=20

Thanks for you help.

The first and most important thing on a 1300 is to make the middle oil feed=
 passage larger. It serves cylinders 2 and 3 while the other two oil passag=
es (front and rear) serve only 1 cylinder. You will end up with a grenade g=
oing off in your race engine eventually if that one thing is not done. Ask =
me how I know.I wish I=E2=80=99d known that fact beforehand.

<div>Hello Everyone,

<div>I am a new member and new to racing Spitfires.&nbsp; In fact, my first=
 experience with racing, competition school in Waterford MI, didn't&nbsp; e=
nd well for my engine (see attachment).</div>

<div>I am planning to rebuild an extra small journal 1300 and I am requesti=
ng advise from the very knowledgeable people on this site.&nbsp; I have all=
 the spare engine parts I could ever need and a great machine shop near by =
so mainly I am interested on advice on where to buy parts( pistons, rods ,r=
ings etc..).</div>

<div>Also, while I'm at it, I would like to improve my transmission and rea=
rend.&nbsp; I am open to anything from minor improvement to a complete swap=
 of my transmission or rearend.</div>
