Ira,
I think you worry too much. My BT7 turned 50 in August. The engine has
never been out of the car. I do not baby my Healey, I drive it spiritedly
when I can. I consistently do well in autocrosses, and the car has been
driven all over the country in the 26 years I have owned it. I use 20/50
Valvoline racing oil and it still doesn't smoke from having over 115,000
miles on it. 30,000 miles? It is just getting broken in. Just drive it
and have fun.

Subject: [Healeys] just wondering
My BT7 engine is bored 40 over. I see on ahead4healeys' site that they have
.60 over piston and ring sets.
I have always feared what would happen if I ever had to rebuild my engine
again?
So the question is can I use .60 over pistons safely in my 29D street
engine, if need be?
With around 30K on the engine, I hope this will not be an issue during my
lifetime, but just in case......
Thanks
