hey , been watching forum for a while now and ty loads of posts and views got me where i am no

 

mini 1000 1979 small bore stage 1 running nice and no leaks 

 

so had a rummage and came up with these

 

12g295 head needs inserts but could be built for leaded ,and 7thou skimmed already

 

998HD82 block with flat top pistons

 

dam 5652 gearbox , 

 

first post and introduction , and a shy ask for pointers 

 

 cant see any issues , but just reaching out before i taking the plunge,

 

getting the car up and done was just nuts and bolts and contortions for the clutch split pin at the top of pedal 

 

, but now it feels like im gonna do surgery on its internals ( inside its heart the engine) 

 

kindest regards and thanks for all the info up to now <3
