Nathan's 1293cc Mini project.

Nathan's engine has been rebored to .020, with new pistons and rings fitted. Crank was just polished, and Vandervell shells fitted, and a Kent 286 cam, heavy duty cam followers and a lightened duplex timing gear kit added. This head is a type three, which is about as far as we go for road use.
