                        No keep it original the 1300 Spitfire block is quite good for revving and simple to maintain.
                        Ben Caswell probably not the last word on anything here!!

                          Dependant on your locale, there used to be a guy in Ledbury, on a small trading estate who had a good reputation for rebore etc, don't know if he still exists though!

                              Just looked thro my archive cannot find the info, know it was down by ledbury sewage works on a newish trading estate about 10 yrs go, but now france based don't know, cannot remember, renown springs to mind .
                              I have an old work colleague who is a member of the vscc(?) who might know, I'll try to get the info, might take some time as he gets about a bit!!
