been looking at a focus local to me to buy, but the big ends have gone. it starts and runs and doesn't smoke but rattles when you blip the throttle.
does anyone know if you can get big end shells for them?

 

www.shawspeed.com should be able to get you a set for a 1.4, and possibly burton power?

 

Is it def the big ends and not the mains? There is an issue rebuilding them in that the main caps aren't dowelled, so require pretty accurate measurement to get right!

 

It'll also need a crank or grind as well so you need to factor that in.

 

deffo big ends. next question, will a 1.4 head fit on a 1.6 bottom end? we have a 1.6 bottom end at work if i can get it off the boss for reasonable money, so would all the 1.4 stuff bolt to it?
