spot on you two :thumbup ...yes its another engine swap for me, 2nd one this year, to answer the next question in advance...Why ?...bike is throwing its coolant out of the header tank after a couple of minutes running, could be a failed head gasket pressurising the coolant system or worse a cracked head, other problems that i have not been 100% happy with for a while now is a rattling clutch and my own painting of the engine a few years back... the decider was an offer of a free engine from a friend of a friend, no history with it but got in contact with the previous owner on the log book and he kindly sent me the service history, lots of it including a recent big service with a bill for £400 ish and MOT`s confirming a mileage of 60,000 ish which is more or less the same as my bike, my friend has heard it running and it sounds sweet, just bolted it in this evening but still have all the bits and pieces to fit...
One, is never going to be enough.....
