    He has them - but way expensive. I have them sourced through Craddocks and they're still not cheap; just waiting on an email back with a freight quote.

    Thanks for the encouragement everyone (and the engine stand offer Dave)...I really miss driving the old girl.

    I've had some success looking for cam followers (rocker arms)....Cox and Turner Engineering in England have been extremely helpful.....I'm sending my worn rocker arms off today....

    "Dan - We supply reconditioned rockers (camfollowers) on an exchange-only basis. These have the rocker face machined off, 2 dowel holes drilled and a proprietary chrome-moly steel camfollower pad brazed on. The pads are then profile-ground to the correct curvature and the followers are abrasive rumbled to give the correct surface finish. New bushes are then fitted and drilled for oil holes then honed to suit the camfollower shafts.

    The rocker/camfollower set is £260 exchange. If you do not return your old units there is a surcharge of £200. We have supplied over a thousand of thse followers and some sets have now done over 100,000 miles with no problems. It is a far superior system to the original hard chrome facing.

    We also have new production camshafts at £185, new camfollower shafts at £60 the pair and c/follower thrust washers at £1.50 each - all specifically designed to run with our rockers/camfollowers.

    Freight will be at cost - if you just have the camfollowers it will be around £25

    All the best
    Ian Cox"

    It's like you're reading my mind, Arthur! I just managed to get a hold of my machinist about 15 minutes ago....and, drum roll.....my engine will be ready next week!

    (although I did hear that for last week too)

    Anyway, I'll be the first to let you all know when we can have a get together and refit the old girl's new heart....I'm thinking it'll be the weekend of the 9th February but I'll sing out....

    No....I just haven't got the call that my engine is finished.....the Defender is also stuffed, and I'm still trying to clean up from Oswald....so kind of busy with other stuff too....I have spoken to my machinist, many times recently, he is an old friend, and I guess it will be ready when it's ready. I'll be shouting it from the rooftops when Matilda comes back to life!!!!
