Hi,

Just in case if You have some time...

I am preparing to rebuild my engine (big breath, fingers crossed, St
Christopher "activated" etc). I did some other engine rebuilds recently, soo
have the basic equipment and common knowledge, but nothing Healey-specific.
Can You give me some instructions on what to take extra care? Are there any
recommended modifications?

My plans are:
- "fastroad" 2.6 engine, with 12 port head slightly ported/polished.
- reprofiled cam (approx 260 in and 265ex degrees)
- 10:1 CR
- rear oil seal conversion
- "bucket" oil seals on valve guides
- slightly lightened/balanced crankshaft and flywheel

Soo far.

Any additions?
Gergo

PS: I have read some hints in the archieve, but I have got 1000s of letters
:-o
