cymaz Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I have an Evolution 7-77cc radial, now nearly 8 years old. It has developed a leak in number 1 cylinder. It seems like the leak is between the barrel and the head. I can only assume that it has been shrunk fit. Anyhow, finding replacement parts are as rare as a polar bear in the Sahara. The only parts that I could find was rockers, push rods. After sending several emails and getting helpful replies, ( CH Ignitions deserve a special mention), I mailed HH in desperation. Within a few hours they replied offering some used with rings. Too good to miss. Now, some people may throw their hands up in disgust but the rest of the engine is running well. I’ve ordered 2 cylinder and ring combination for $80 including postage from Illinois. I will report more when they arrive. HH in the US could not have been more helpful. They even returned my call to save the phone bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Williams Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Cymaz - did you talk to Morris at Morris Mini Motors? He now sells the revised UMS versions but I'm pretty sure he has quite a few Evolution bits and pieces knocking around. May be worth a try next time.

cymaz Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 No.... The new versions have a slightly different cylinder fixing method which makes them not compatible with my old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
