Just my luck Paul. I thought a new set of rings, new cam and primary chains and a cam chain horseshoe would do the job a treat.....never mind, keeps the old grey matter active ;D

Julie, if its any comfort - mine WAS running rough when you saw it at the Crich do - what will that look like?? Watch this space :P

Look on the bright side, if you crack this one then any other should be a doddle.
Ask Graham if that is the worst piston damage he has seen on a decently running engine.

I think every 400/4 owner on here should strip their engine at the same time as me Tim, hopefully someone has worse problems than me ;D

Graham says No, he says he has seen alot worse than that!!!. Hettie's engine was running perfectly even with the pistons in that state. She also only burnt about 100-200 mls of oil every 1000 miles. She was a flying machine.
