I therefore think my engine is a 318 in effect. Not that relevant but I though interesting given the subject.

That is interesting about the piston size...
Also that must be the worst petrol ever supplied if you need an engine rebuild when you use it. Do you mind if I hope you don't mind I use it in my article?
