		According to the previous owner, the engine had only done ~58,000 miles and had been removed as the head had suffered from the common porosity problem between the oil and water ways.
		Whilst the engine was out, the bores were deglazed (which I verifed, as the head wasn't bolted on to the block), and new rings were fitted.
		The engine came with a cut and shut alloy sump (no baffles, but a flat bottom and slightly shallower than the original sump), and a (disovered later to be very badly) modified pick-up pipe.
