When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

I'd like to but as a first build I think it might be a little bit too much

thats cheap for £400 squids. Probably only worth buying it if you are familiar with the engine, i dont fancy trying to change the bearings myself!

If the mains/big ends are going, then new bearings on their own are unlikely to be a long term solution to the problem

Thats the perfered engine for the Marlin Sportster- would fit right in mine but I think post would be a b#$ch to Canada. Probably be a drop in power anyway.

These engines only occasionally work in BMW's, it would never work in a Locost





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
