It's a 100,000 mile 4.6 out of a range rover with new pistons, rings and ends etc. All stock except for the wilder cam and new forged pistons.
I used a glaze buster to clean the bores up before the new bits went in.
I'm well happy with this old lump Mate!

Thanks Pete
Just need to give the heads a good clean up and I'll let you know.
Been reading about you cleaning up your heads behind the valve seats. Mine are also stage 3 V8 Devopments heads....think I'll take a look behind the valves after reading what you found
