You have to take the piston's out to correctly measure the bore.

You also need the right tool's & not a vernier!

Popped around to Josh's and gave him a hand in his never ending quest to drive the Mk1 to a car show some time this century.

After a few comical setbacks the motor is in and running.

Needs a good tidy up and there's a few things to finish off, but we should have another MK 1 at DOVW this weekend.

Yoga? I don't recall seeing this procedure in the Bentley manual!

Josh hurt himself meditating, his head expoded.

(At least that how I choose to recall it.)
