Having read the posts in the link Ian, your doing a great job. The engine looks to have 11D conrods fitted (Perfo caps are at 90 degrees, 11D are offset) so you can replace the shells as they are not white metalled
Had my engine rebuilt over the winter and there are a couple of things to watch out for, sealing of the liners, crankshaft end float and the flywheel end oil retainer http://osl282.info/Engine.php
