OUMF and the Riley at HRDC Donington Park

2/6/2013

After the heartache of coming so close to a fantastic result and a Class win at Silverstone in April’s Historic Racing Driver’s Club ‘All Stars’ event, it was a huge disappointment that we had to withdraw from the next round at Oulton Park. The damage incurred as a result of the blown head gasket which caused our untimely demise was sufficient to require the head to be skimmed and the block to be checked to ensure a flat and correct mating surface – as the distance between combustion chambers was discovered to be just 2.7 millimetres! Once more we are very thankful to our supporters coming to our aid, in particular Dave Knight of Knight Engine Services and Dave Crisell of All-Stage Cylinder heads who used their considerable skills to rework the cylinder head to a capable state.
