I can't believe you've had so much trouble with this engine Simon , the word ' porkies ' comes to mind

I have my opinions on this one as well but will keep them for our lunch time chats track side

Simon,

Sorry to hear of your woes. I bought a couple of ex-sidecar engines. "both run fine, one is a bit down on power", turned out that one had a blown head-gasket and the other had 2 bent valves and 2 valves embedded in the pistons. It seems that GSXR engines make people delusional.

Good luck with getting it all going.

Matt

thanks matt will let you know the out come

[dopdog]

well all is good and hopefully fixed in the engine department. phoned the engine builder to ask for some more information on the rebuilt engine as i did confirm that the bearing was loose in the casing. I just wanted to confirm which bits i could swap over. he was in the test bay so would phone me back like he did last time.

that was 2 days ago !!!

just to make sure all is well with the engine I have gone out and purchased another engine today

my only saving grace is that the 2 engines I have here have Nova Transmission gearboxes in at £1000 pound a pop so will get on and sell them. back to building and hopefully will see you all at North Weald for the kick off

I guess you will not be using his services....2 dead engines and no phone call....
