not really,,
i should have binned 814cwe in 1984,,but i just left it standing and came back to it years later while i enjoyed other stuff,

prob is its been such a git to recomission,,

never had to overhaul soo much stuff in my life,,,oh,,and the bits of welding too..

building a new engine for it at mo,,its a tad grumbly on the mains,,but it was a scrapyard engine fitted in 1971 so its done ok i suppose.
