Have an engine that was built by Dave Webster (240) and it has some interesting engraving in the engine casing and top end. I presume that its the name of the person who built it. I thought only Rolls Royce done this...
It says "morgardo chrome 6" inside the engine case and also on the mag flange. It also says DJ 240 on the inside of the piston. The casing has been Chromed at some point in the past.
Anyone know who morgardo is? sounds like someone out of lord of the rings....
