This is getting scary-are you my doppleganger??

The reason mine is being rebuilt as a 558 is because it blew up.............on track!

It broke a cambelt after the water pump seized and delaminated the belt at Almeria in Spain 3 years ago. Result was only 4 bent valves but I had to strip the engine anyway so..............it grew to 558 with big valves and a gasflow.

I would think mine is an early one as well since it is stated to be a 1988 and was imported from Japan-engine No is 00120.
