Default the time has come

time for an engine build

due to certain problems that could be simply be fixed but cant
justify stripping engine down and putting it back together as a standrad engine, so watch this space

sierra is going to have to go to pay for it though

good plan.
I hate it when people give up, and do it the cheap way, or break them for spares!!

not sure rad, will pull lot better money breaking it but dont want the hassle of doing it, to sell as it is i think 4400 ono is fair
