The engine where rebuild back in 1990, according til PIM where I bought the car.
It's only driven 2000 miles since, where I have driven the 1200 of them since I got it in april this year.
Beside the oilconsumption, I had a ticking when I rev. the engine over some time. Driving 100 mph for a couple of minutes, left me with that ticking. Sounded like it was from the lifters.
No oil mods is done to the engine. And the lifterbores are not bushed.
The crate engine is the way to go, I think. Talked to Kristian yesterday about it (Push1267). He have a stroked Windsor in his, and I like the idea of a Windsor in mine too, as they are much easier to get parts for etc. - But I still don't know for sure.
