Do you build your own engines? I learnt all my engine
skills building A series engines...Mostly metro ones
for my mini, in the few years I owned it, it had 5 of
them! I got started with the master of the A series,
David Vizard and his big yellow book. Incidentally one
of the machine shops I use (they also build engines)
used to build the metro turbo engines for Rover, back
in the days when they had a one make race series.
