Re: SER1 1595 engine

Another good engine rebuilder is Steve Coterell, he is based up in
Derbyshire and has rebuilt 2 pre production 80" engines. He is very good at
what he does and very very cheap but due to this he has a lot of work on and
so can be a bit slow, so if you are doing a full restoration, get your
engine to him early on as it maybe there a while. I have just picked up my
1600cc engine which he has bored and sleeved, reground the crank, skimmed
the head, skimmed the block, fitted valve guides etc etc and it was with him
for about 11 months. He can be contacted on 01246 250459
