New Corsa... Leaving work the other day.   Whack whack whack the engine 
goes and loses power.   Shut down and tow home figuring a dropped seat.

Pull heads today to find a accelerator pump brass needle! in the #4 
chamber.   Crushed ring lands chewed up heads.   Dilema!
Plus want to find who built the carbs and managed to do that to the PO!

Heads: I have a set of milled step 140's.   And a set of stocker 140's. 
Both 
are completely rebuilt with deep seats 'ready to go'.   Need a .060 piston 
and cylinder though!  Anyone have a spare?

I am thinking.... use the 040 cylinders and pistons I have for another 
project.   They are dished to go with the high quench heads.   They were 
meant for another build.   OR find a spare std cyl (have 5 good - and 6 
good pistons) and use those with the std heads.

Thoughts?
