Yea the guy I got it off said it had a headgasket done by the old owner and it hadn't been startes since so thought it might of been cooked so better have a wee look glad I did bigends bearings are worn but hopefully crank won't need work done it hasn't run them.
I guess rebuild it with high compression stupidly massive cams and webbers
