    I've done a terrible job of explaining all this...

    The overall run-out is 30 over. Assuming that it is equal around the entire circumference that would make make it 15 to big on a radius...At least that's the way I think this works.

    Anyway, going 20 over takes 5 off all the way around...

    Does that make sense?

    Where is James May when you need him for the Maths...

    Don't paint it "camouflage", It'll make it difficult to find the engine to perform needed services!

    Not much to update as a scheduled vacation by Chad is underway.

    So exciting that this all is right now that all I have to report is the Crank Core was delivered back to the dealer from whence the rebuild crank came from..

    Stay tuned for more later...much later.

    I leave for MOTD on April 28. Chad knows this and we spoke the other day of the timing. It will be complete in time.

    Much later means next week before there are any real updates. An eon in internet time.

    If worse comes to worse, Chad could bring Nat to you at MOTD. :)

    This just in!

    Machine Shop has completed their portion of the work.

    Block is all straight, bores are now round, crank and pistons installed. Head work is complete as well.

    We are on track for me to have the MINI back in time for MOTD!
