Hi Guys, looks like this is going to be a show stopper. Any thought on changing big end bearings?

Just my thoughts but unless the crank is a known quantity "do not disturb"

Have a sneaky look at one big end and one main, maybe the centre main, then leave well alone with a "sit rep" findings.

[Guest Shaunhirst]

Wheels are at the powder coater (gloss black) front grille and lamps being done in mat black, spill kits gloves Safty specs wipes and degreaser are with me, front grille lotus 7 badges (as on eBay) with Rhocar cut into them are being run tomorrow I will have as menu as I can blag.........

[Guest Shaunhirst]

Sorted a load of paint, red engine paint mix of acid etc prime and to coat black gloss and satin, and 20m of black heat wrap for the exhaust

What carbs are you running? If side drafts a pressure regulator maybe worth fitting certainly worth chucking in with the bits to take as you have it.
