Hi Phil,
Nice to hear from the US of A. Scary thought pulling the motor to ensure mounts are OK but again, make sense if loose, will throw the linkages out.
I think I'll go for taking the accelerator linkages out first and see how that fares.
The pessimism in me says if I get half more power on top of what's there now, I'll throw a valve or head gasket
I have the History Festival to drive in in march so will get stuck in after that.
Thanks all!
