I'm still half looking for my original 253's, checking the ones I come across for sale etc.

What a mission it is to get the engine number (or part thereof) off some people. Had one person who was worried about me stamping the number on an engine, yet was happy enough to want my engine number to check. What's to stop them from stamping my number and trying to sell it to me.

I could understand it if it was something special like an L34 block or something, but it's a friggin 253...

Also don't think I've posted the number of the current one in my van either. Will do when I'm at home.
