[Healeys] [Fwd: County]

[Bob Spidell]

OK, I forwarded this to the List (with Wayne's permission), so I'll 
chime in.

I read this as they built the original engine twice--with County 
bearings--and had
problems.  The third build was the spare engine.

Nonetheless, your data is noted--the original engine could have had 
bottom end
issues the spare engine (third build) didn't.

Anyone else have experience with County parts?
