Splendid stuff, thanks Mike et al, I think I'll buy the bits as it's a bit too good to miss.
Some further questions: The JT code you mention does not appear in the web
resources I have, can you tell me the capacity and compression ratio? I used 7psi
on my Ford against a CR of 9.5:1, but it pinks under load.
Also, Jim Haseltine has been helping me with stuff about my strange KU engine (TY, Jim)
but I'll be needing access to part numbers without imposing on listers all the time,
where do I get this ETKA thing? Failing that, can someone tell me the capacity and
CR of the KU (the web sites vary between 2226 and 2309, Haynes says 2226 and
German and Swedish says 2230!).

Thanks again everyone,

Brian
