The project

94' with 68k mls showing on the clock. Its a bit rough but came with a supposedly half decent replacement engine that i,er replaced,assisted by a couple of mates over the festive period.Easy to dismantle and remove but a hoor to get back together. I have a damaged spare motor that i want to get repaired.

Good Luck with it

If you could get the engine down here, I know someone who could do it in his sleep. And probably does...

The labour charges for that type of job would be huge!!. If you've got a spare engine in the bike and a bench I'd get a manual and have a crack at it yourself. Its more about being methodical/patient than anything else

Allways look at the bright side Tom,

Joe, happy new year to you.Glad to hear about the starter and that you are returning in in March. Im sure you'll have some good stories and film?
Regarding the engine damage,i bought it with the engine blown. There was a lot of oil under the bike on the exhaust and engine. The previous owner was not sure what happened. I think it may have run low on oil which caused the damage. There is the head of a valve stuck in the piston. If it was something like the bike running lean and doing that damage i would maybe take a chance and replace the head,valves and piston,but as it may have been an oil issue i think the best course of action is a complete refurb. Anyhow just in case you have any more bother i have plenty of bits for you to choose from now!!!
