It came back in bits and the internals missing :-( the engine left my house seized but otherwise complete hence my conundrum.
At the time, despite building engines for the previous decade, I thought I would allow someone else to do the rebuild, along with another two engines that were getting done at the time. Quotes that were coming back for components (via belcher engineering) were a major concern so the plug was pulled and the engine recovered all be it a total basket case at this point. I was getting quotes like £50 for a pair of bearing shells and told they were super rare... Again this info from belcher ! I later found that the info given was utter utter bollox so belcher won't get my cash ever again. There was also a mixup with my gearbox which made me very very nervous indeed, it may have been completely innocent but nonetheless, as a result the whole job was aborted and now I am trying to find the missing items.
