Sorry I didn't spot your post earlier. Yeah I just threw the internals in with a new set of bearings and rings and let er rip. I was meant to be just to get me back on the road but the engine went so strong that I just left it as is. The mains on the bluetop are the same as a 4agze but the journals are different but since I was using bluetop rods and such it didn't matter so it was just bolt in go. It means that I can't raise boost or develop the engine but the extra compression gives a little extra kick and it is a road car so it is good enough. Thrashed it at some track days and it revved all day. No valve clearance problems cause they are essentially the same head so was an easy fix. I honestly though it was going to be a one week wonder but has been beaten for 2 years and still good (I am not a calm forgiving driver hehe)
