Why not ask the firm doing the skimming?

[What engine do I have and how to measure capacity with domed Pistons that are proud]

If you had the engine rebuilt I would talk to the rebuilder to find out the spec. What ever the block and head were originally if the engine has had work done on it it likely to be different now.

I remember James Carruthers website Mintylamb: http://www.mintylamb.co.uk/?page=tyre.htm but seems to broken at the moment.

[Seized short head stud]

 

Very strong grip - had to mount in a vice and hit it to get it to let go of the stud. The black wheel part had bit right into the stud.

had one of these for years, more ££ but withstands amazing forces

 

used this on dougs stuborn GT6 studs my 330 lbft impact wrench normally wins but we had to use a 3 ft breaker bar to shift the sods with both of us on the hernia test gee whizz tight or what !!!!

 

one wonders how a 7/16 stud can be so determined to stay put

One wonders why the stud did not break under that sort of attack.

[Seized short head stud]

 

 

are the best in my experience - you can use a lot of force .  The other style will fail if you use a lot of force because the stud is stuck in the head. I was recently dismantling an old GT6 engine and used a draper style which broke when the bearing inside forced the other component inside to change shape and stop gripping.

[Body and chassis not matching - should I be concerned?]

If the numbers/dates are not those on the log book V5C you should think about getting the official records updated/corrected.
