thanks for your link felix, it is a very usefull piece of info.
At worse case what with the cranshaft issue etc, a few bods have sugested having the engine totally rebuilt to proper 888 racing spec, but not qutie sure what that might be, and what it would involve etc, what are your thoughts on this line of upgrade.
At the moment, the costs of repairs are pretty high, just to get it back to normal mode, so upping the spec may not be totally out of the question.
cheers
