<div>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.
<div>I wish I’d known that fact beforehand.</div>

<div>Hello Everyone,
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>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).</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>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..).</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>There are many sources on the internet but since I have never built one of these before I am interested in your input.</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>Thanks for you help.</div>
