good info cheers matey, was going to get it wire rung anyhow when it's stripped and inspected at my tuners...if he's happy then it'll go back together with a wire rung block....if he's not happy then it's rebuild time
I know its not a 500bhp engine....if its capable of running 400 then i'm happy as I got it (full setup) for a good price.
Cheers
