Its been stood for a few years, tried measuring it today and it was around 139.16. But my measuring gear isnt the best, doesnt look like its been skimmed.
Going to do a for sale thread now for the head after £450ono for it, but open to sensible offers

has the crank been inspected? i.e. has it been polished ready for a rebuild or are you just going by the bearings that came out of it?

Just had a look at one of the bearing tonight, its been stood for 4years that i know of. It looked in good nik, its still in the block at the moment. Everything on the engine is standard the only thing that was done to the car it was in was a 270bhp chip. The owner was an old bloke.

Maybe but still more meat on it than most of them out there, and still give you the option of being able to do it again.
