[Fot] Rebuild

[ralph hansen]

 sorry to see - certainly looks like pre-ignition/detonation damage - timing too far advanced/bad or low octane gas/too lean (most likely from the looks of the pistons)
Arias or Venolia for pistons and pins
Carrillo for the rods 
Total Seal Gapless rings
if the bores are not too bad you might get away with pistons, bearings rings etc

 Hello Everyone,
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).
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..).
There are many sources on the internet but since I have never built one of these before I am interested in your input.
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.
Thanks for you help.
