Availability of 3sgte OEM Main Bearings

Been a while, i'm now knee deep in the engine build and trying to source main bearings for the 3sgte, Listers say the fractional mains that you used to be able to get are now discontinued so what do you do if you want fractional mains bearings. When I say fractional I mean the main bearings that use...

Scored cam seats

I have a head I wanted to use but discovered some very deep scores when I removed the cams which were also well ruined, now I have spare caps and new cams do we think I can flat out the scores and use the head?

[Mk2] [Turbo] Head Swap

Anyone got a list of requirements to fit a rev 3 head on a Rev1/2 bottom end?

Key points I'm interested in are the cam belt and the ancillaries, can I leave the bottom as is and just do the head>?

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Spinning Gear Lever Knob

Pistons

I've used Wiesco pistons in a few different builds they are good, I used 87mm 9:1 which run fine. I suggest boring out at a competent shop giving them the pistons to match, any other way, breaking the glaze etc cant be as good as you want the barrels to match the pistons. If you look at the factory ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] pre-rads.....extra fan required?

If you have removed the AC then you can run the other fan by fitting a switch instead of the AC sensor under the bonnet, when I go to the pod or something I just go under the bonnet and switch it on so I have both fans running. Ive done the same on the engine lid so I can break the circuit with the ...
