Tony and Ann at MCM have come up trumps for us again. After the disaster with our best engine at Pembrey we have been trying to piece together the parts we need to build a replacement. Tony got to work straight away and we have now got two sets of barrels bored out ready for the rebuild. In an effort to prevent the rods from letting go again we are currently having them shot peened and polished. We were hoping to have the engine built in time for Snetterton but unfortunately we are short of a piston as this was also damaged and unfortunately TTS didn't have one in stock but are expecting them in within the next 10 days. Therefore it looks like we will have to use the 400cc motor for Snetterton. With this in mind we are looking at getting the crank lightened and balanced but this will depend on the costs involved. It is something worth looking at though as it would help the engine to spin up quicker than a Tazmamian Devil.
