I'm going to strip it and rebuild it I think. It's needs a new shift shaft and selector forks, might see what tuning parts can be added along the way. It will be a long journey I'm sure
That was a typo, I ment a friend of mine found me a new engine lol
I just used a satin black spray paint from wisebuys the guy who found me the engine has used it before and assures me it will be fine
Il be polishing up the frame and getting all th impossible to reach places next so I'm not going to attempt to lift it in on my own incase I gouge any paint when I get frustrated and use ignorance to get it in place lol
I never Seen it turned over, but the beaker had it turned over and checked the compression before he took it out so fingers crossed it's fine, he is a long time friend of my buddy so I have no reason not to take his work it will be ok.... I hope lol
My plan is to run some old oil through it with my old filter and try to collect any corrosion or gunk that may be in there now, then fill it up with clean stuff, I have replaced as much as I could with parts and casing from my old engine, I will probably change out the oil again soon after that and see how it is then and maybe run a cleaner through it, everything I could see looked fine except around the intakes and exhaust holes, there was some funky stuff in there, my friend blew it out best he could befor it was brought home and he reckoned it would be fine once it's run for a while and the oil pumps around.
Il be starting her up tomorrow so il let you all know how it gets on and if there are any issues with the paint or anything else a few miles down the road
