[Healeys] Hello

[Robert Markovich]

I have restored a BN1. The Four offers unique challenges compared with the Six, with a much longer stroke and but three main bearings. I would suggest anyone count on a new steel crank, adding a harmonic balancer and lighter flywheel to lessen torsional stress on the crank, and an alloy head as most originals are trash by now. Cost: an easy $20k with labor. Scary? Yes. But that’s how to do if of you want an engine you can rely on and drive as it was meant to be driven. The later Six really was an improvement overall and are known to be bulletproof for a reason. My two cents …

 The list has been very quiet for a long time.How about a discussion about the cost of restoring a BN1? The metal work is About 90% done. The remaining work includes final fitting all body panels, preparing for paint & final painting.Wiring, plumbing including rebuilding the brakes, interior, fitting the windscreen, convertible top, side curtains including providing all material where necessary. Rebuild the engine including all the machining. I have all the necessary components.

Is it me, or is the list quiet?  I haven't seen anything for quite a while?
