ok peoples here it is
the 7a has 2 or 3 bad areas
1 the rods are piss weak and will break if you take it near redline alot
2 the pistons are also a weak area and will need replaced
3 it only has a 6 bolt flywheel

i built a 7agte myself and i run argo rods about 1100 australia dollars and aries pistons$800 and run a porsche 944 timing belt which it also needs
the bore is the same as a 4age so 4age pistons will fit it is just the stroke that is longer it is also an idea to shot peen the crank and run apr bolts for extra strengh any of the small,big 20v heads will bolt up

it is a great engine if built correctly and alot of the clubmans/lotus7s ect run that set up here in australia
