When I took my Es Cossie to Harvey Gibb for the 500 BHP conversion (brand new engine/drive train) there was nothing actually wrong with the above engine, it had done 76 k miles (70 k miles as standard 220 BHP....and then 6 k miles as stage 3). Harvey asked me what I wanted done with the "old" engine and I said to rebuild it to a good Stage 3 spec that would be good for fast road and track days, and maybe I would fit it in my Saph one day. I said to Harvet: Do everything that needs doing to the engine as I wanted it to be a reliable 340 - 345 BHP spec engine.
Has the head been skimmed?

Presumably the head was overhauled also?

Are the pistons std diameter?
