At last I have read the whole thread, took me 4 days or so but I have done it.
All I can say is wow Paul you are amazing, I will never do anything like this to my k11 but the way you go about creating your blog is like a haynes manual that has just been smacked with the sensible stick.
Its like a step by step, how to and instructional wiki all rolled into one.
Have to say though when you first started getting problems with that forged engine I kept saying to myself he needs to deal with the added crankcase pressure, I had to hold back the erger to chime in on the subject but left it. Then someone else brought the subject up and you did consider looking into testing it but I don't think you ever got round to doing it?
I remember back to my youth in the late 70s early 80s and my m8s used to run modified minis and they always had to enlarge the breather pipe holes on there rocker covers due to the increased pressure from raising compression and the rest.
On a personal note..
Love what you have done with your k11 and find your posts about your struggle with mental health a big help to me, I too have been going through a tough time lately and have been diagnosed with depression (the med's help) long story for another time maybe.
Anyway was wondering if that lady from 'mind' ever got back to you?
