So I have a spit 6 (no arguments...that's what I call it) with a 2.5l from a 2500tc
Burning more and more oil to the point where I might as well put an AGA badge on the back and re-register as a diesel.
Had a head (219016) rebuild so the bottom end needs sorting.
Since a set of pistons alone is knocking on 500 quid I didn't fancy the rebore option so i took a punt on a second hand engine for 100quid plus another 170 for a hoist, leveller and stand.
The replacement engine appears to be rebored out to .020 with little use after that with good compression.
Now it's up on the stand I'll be measuring the end float and inspecting the bearings.
Hopefully this journal will be of interest/use depending how bored you are ;-)
