Re: shiftlight
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.

Re: shiftlight
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
