Tried it last night - the eroded area didn't clean up so definately burned some of the spigot away. No matter. I'll get all 4 cleaned up. Just got a new case, pre-prepared with savers and oil drilling; full flow kit; and a deep sump. Waiting for pro verdict on camshaft (lobes worn) and crank (whether it needs regrinding). -- Matt. UK.
