It's always good to have a spare engine in the shed for tinkering,

NPR rings, ACL race bearings, maybe Eagle rods, Reinz gaskets, full balance of rods, crank, pistons, harmonic balancer, GMB water pump, machine the lip off the flywheel, check out stronger oil pumps, 50 thou head shave, clean up the ports, unshroud the valves, ... endless employment ☺

All fixed :D

Even treated it to a sexy wrinkle red rocker cover :roll:

Time to start buying bits for the dead engine and rebuild it.
