some parts in the clubman spec i think are abit iffy.
such as revving hudraulics to 8k, im not a big fan of revving them above 7.5-7750rpm, the spring tops will need replacing for steel minimum as they will split, reprofiled cams remove material from the bottom of the lobes so chances the hydraulics will be noisey. stock rods are good tbh to 8k, im also not a big fan of pocketed stock pistons, if gets too hot the edges of the crown could break up.
if you can get a gen 170bhpo without tbs on a 1400 id be very suprsied but id wana see it on a diff dyno...i know how easy it is to make engines looks like their producing awesome power by changing a few factors on the dyno or rolling road.
