I purchased a ERST 3 months ago with a view to restoring her back to her original standard condition over time. I noticed at high revs 4500 - 5000 my inter cooler was filling with oil. I had it compression tested today by PJ Motorsport in Wolverhampton, they concluded that piston 1 to 3 were fine but piston number 4 wasn't!
They said that I will have to have the bottom end bored out and bigger pistons fitted. This would correct things. However, while the engine is stripped I should replace the oil pump, water pump, bearings, gaskets and cam belt.
Can anyone advise/recommend somebody to do the work? How much are we talking to do the work? PM me or contact me on 07796 008817.

You would be wise to have everything checked and replaces as PJ have suggested.
