[Healeys] Engine Rebuild

[Greg Lemon]

Joe, I went through a similar process on my 100 rebuild, the liners were 
pitted, and my options were to go .060" over or get the block sleeved to 
stock, in fact I had already purchased the sleaves.  My machinist who I came 
to trust suggested the would be the better choice and I went that route, I 
could only find pistons from England, but I do not believe they were DW, but 
one of the major Healey suppliers over there, they were 8.5/1 pistons. if 
you want the name of the supplier I may stlll be able to dig it up.

I had my cam reground to M spec by Delta Cams, who also resurfaced my 
lifters, but if you prefer new all I will add is that the M spec cam is not 
at all radical and has a smooth idle and does not detract from the low end 
torquey character of the motor, and I used this set up with the stock carbs 
and intake set-up as it sounds like you may be considering (?).

Good Luck
