South Cerney Engineering was very much favoured when I lived in that part of the world.

For parts I would try T.D.Fitchett in Telford or Canley Classics then Rimmers for anything else you can't find. Not sure if your block has bearings for the cam but well worth having them put in obviously replaced if they have been original. Triumph Sport Six Club do a remanufacture of your own engine for around £1840 Ouch

When I needed my 1300 Herald engine's cylinders honed, crank ground, and a new heavier thrust bearing made up, I used Hamlin Engineering from Bridgwater. Thomas Hamlin & Co, 64 Monmouth Street, Bridgwater, TA6 5EJ. 01278 422452. On roundabout opposite Sainsburys.They were recommended to me and I was very satisfied with their expertise and prices.
