just had a call

Wallace Perf had an engine builder look at the block of my 2.1..... one of the bores is scored, and 3 pistons are rocking....

My old block is now being rebored to 2100cc, and the uprated internals from the 1st 2.1 being moved accross.

Could have built it up on the 'weak' block but would have burnt oil, and may have gone fairly quickly

with the 1st 2.1 being bored pretty much to the limit its a lost cause
