Can anyone recommend an engine rebuilder for a 1977 Honda ? In central Scotland would be a bonus. Thanks.

What '77 Honda, what's wrong with it and as it's from that era it'll be stone simple, why not DIY?
Dave Silver spares may be your (expensive) friend.

Thanks for that suggestion. I had a look at their website - http://www.agraengineering.co.uk/index.php
and they look a possible answer to my problems.

Ignored but I'll still suggest people who have given me good service in the past.

Thanks for that suggestion, if a bit further away.
I agree about David Silver but sadly engine parts supply for a GL1000 are limited.
What’s wrong with it ? Unfortunately I don’t have the experience / skills to identify from the noises its making – an unpleasant knocking for one thing. Certainly cylinder compression is half of what it should be across all 4 cylinders.
So for various reasons which I didn’t want to bore folk with I was looking for a recommended engine rebuilder.
However you may be right and I resort to DIY.
Time will tell.

Aha... your board name!
compression... valves or bores/rings? A compression test will help diagnosis, Knocks... cams big ends clutch. If it runs a long screwdriver helps to find noises. Nothing to lose and much to learn having a poke at it.
