Those are the mods I used to do with Mini cranks. Rods are weak too, you can get Scat rods cheap and fit ARP rod bolts. I run my stock crank to 6500rpm, also make sure you have a steel flywheel.

Do you need parts??
Ta Jock Juice! Not up for any parts yet and I was trying to avoid taking the lump back out due to space issues as well as trying to get some miles on it first.

A mate of mine has another motor, 502, and was thinking about getting that one sorted and swapping them over.............or do I get the thing painted??!!
