The bigger the holes from factory , the better.

Do not get too carried away with making them larger is all I ask. Sometimes size does not matter depending from whence you come from.

You have to "Pick Your Mark" so to speak.

Beating about a Bush here lots of smiles however :)

The bigger the holes the better any block. (In a basic kind of way)

Take that as read but do not go Bum Up changing some important timings aye?

I like BIG Holes by the way.

I have studied my notes from the early 70s and there are some limitations that MUST be adhered to regarding cross flow Old Dears. Seagulls where not known by me back then by the way.

Something to do with bearings and 3500Rpm . Air Pump is what the are...............

Note That Aye.

Happy new year!

Curious about the different types of century blocks. This post shows two types, and there were other pictures which are no longer visible. Can anyone post pictures of any other variations?
