Yeah didn't use that bloke i ended up using a local bloke @ Wallsend NSW still a few probs with too much smoke & oil leak but it's all under controll cost a bucket load of cash though as my motor must have had big probs before & assembled wrong with a circlip missing from each gudgeon pin which scored the bore beond rebore so 6 sleaves were neaded plus new head & injectors & pump work.

Thanks for the reply, was there anything in particular as to why you did not use Dragon Engineering? I did big end bearing in January and trying to judge how you perceived him.

No i just wanted to keep it local where i could see any xtra damage if needed which worked out. But talking to the bloke from Dragon over the phone he was very helpfull .
