Yes found stag engines like this , the bores usually clean up with a hone if not too pitted , may find the rings jammed up gentle heat here, new rings needed no dowt , with the heads clean up check warpage, if flat that's good , check inlet valves don't protude below head surface , if skim needed take little as poss , thanks Barry great to see as found !
Hi there. there is some fairly deep corrosion to the top of the block so I think the whole lot should grace the bottom of my scrap bin, but on the other hand, I might just give it a go to see if I can get it to chug again. Who knows.
For some particularly obscure reason, the owner of the engine took off the carburettors and pulled out the spark plugs, then parked it by the door of his garage for 27 years and thought it would be fine 🤔 clearly he was wrong.

Isn't a Stag engine a V8 ?
Indeed it is, not a very good one, but they do sound nice
Not the nicest discovery!!! Will it be salvageable?

You really need to take better care of your stag engine !. 🤔🤭🤐
