so he can copy it.
Including arp 2000's, dowling, radial serrations on the bearing caps, VAT
and import duty we're looking at 'slightly' less than the above.
Shame it'll helping GW's balance of payments but it's gotta be better
than buying something from someone who's not even willing to tell
you what it is.......

I did have a daft idea that this forum was to share idea's/experiences
with others.....
Incidentally mines an 1860 and so is yours if it's an 82mm bore, if it's
smaller it ain't a tall block.

some people may not know which 1.9l they have, i for one havent a clue which one ive got. good on ya though for doing what ya doing to help others.

ok bud, yeah i also found a site displaying stats on the rods etc and it seems the later 1.9l is a bit diff so i doubt specialised use the later block, i got mine in the late 90`s from specialised.
so if the rod youve sent off to the states is from the later type it wouldnt be any good for me i wouldnt of thought ????.
