For the first time in over 40 years and more than a dozen cars at long last
I've had one go round the clock - the V8.

Not only that but this was it's 2nd time round, so it is now on its 3rd!  It's
the original engine, and judging by the piston markings has only had one
rebore, and I reckon that must be getting on for at least 100k ago as I've
done 75k and there is no mention of it in the immediate POs list of work done.
I did the top-end and cam and followers just a couple of years ago, and while
the heads were off could still see the honing marks over most of the bore
surfaces.  Over the winter I'll take the sump off and investigate the big
ends, mains and crank, and then take a view on another rebore and regrind.
