I've finally got the new build underway..
Damaged heads have been welded and skimmed and look like new. The block is being stripped, the melted areas are being welded and cut back for new top hat liners in the old Rover V8. I have had cometic multi layer steel gaskets made which should put and end to my head gasket leaks. I've got all the other bits I ned to build the engine back up for Feb 2012.
Hopefully will be on the dyno by 3rd week of Feb for testing. When the engine is bedded in I'll be looking for similar low 10's on the strip on the old induction setup.
I'll be happy with this while I finish fitting the DP system for the Retro Show in July..
I've been sad not to have had the MGB to use since last July but the wait will be worth it for 2012 I hope
