Build Update Feb 09
Right, not the front oil seal, but every other one on the whole engine!
I've taken apart the oil pump and everything seems hunky-dory there so i'm suspecting blow-by somehow pressurising the oil ways (apparently can happen on the t16 rover engine)
so... i've got a new block, funky 86.4mm pistons with anti-detonation domes within the dish, std stroke pauter forged rods, piper 270cams, ported head, thermal inlet and exhaust "plates", the inlet "plate" is 6mm thick with integrated rubber O rings so can't really call it a gasket!
This should bring it out to 2086cc from 1994cc , but i need to get a replacement turbo as the oil pressure popped the turbo seals too!
