He did a similar thing to the engine in his XJ6 back in the early eighties, that came my way to fix too!
The 2.8 was famous for letting go not my fault, ask Blair...

Had a slight rumble on my bottom end and engine was at about 75% power,
so decided to strip the bottom end and see what might be causing it.
Has anyone got any Araldite I can borrow?

On lotus heads that are often skimmed too much you could use the various range of Cometic head gaskets these can be quite thick and lower the CR.

Hi mate
I have one mk1 running a type 9 with a 3.77 and one car with a 3.9 and a 2000E.
The 2000e is a combo ideal for all driving except motorway cruising 75 is about 5000 in top not that relaxed.
The type 9 gives you all that the 2000e does but with an overdrive 5th for motorways.
So depends where you will be driving your car most.
Remember also wheels diameter and tyre profile.
I have a spreadsheet that for any classic ford gearbox and rear axle and tyre prfile gives you mph in each gear.
If you or anyone else wants a copy pm me your email.
Cheers
Brendan
