My car had an engine overhaul (before my ownership) in 2003 which was only 8,000 miles ago.

I understand from internet search that VSE no longer trade. One invoice says the engine was overhauled to VS02 Specification

But I am none the wiser as I do not know what that means. I assume it was one of a range of overhaul options - and I am posting here in case someone reading this has had a VSE VS02 Overhaul and can enlighten me as to what it may have comprised of?

From notes written I think cams were changed for new profiles.

Anyway, any information gratefully received, as always !

Thank you[highlight=][/highlight]

I’ve sold that particular car now but I had a VS02 engine. Whilst in my ownership.
It was a very strong unit and I miss it.
Spec as far as I can recall was :
9.1 compression
Special cams L14. I think ( detail in the knowledge base)
Ported and polished head
Lightened flywheel
Endless chains
Bigger valves
Fully balanced

Other specs were available, maybe use the search function
Pulled like a train right through the range.

Sample spec above.
Mine wasn’t to this level but given you an example

Many thanks Tim - certainly it seems to drive very well.
