Someone to inspect engine bits
Hey all is there any body willing to do me favour and look at some engine parts iv got and tell me whats usable what needs work and whats screwed? Eg: case, pistons sleeves rockers heads crank and cam. Will then have an idea what to budget for when the bucks start again. All cleaned so not even an oily exercise?

Re: Someone to inspect engine bits
Thanks guys for the offers but managed to have em checked on a bit closer to me. Rui do you know what a decent price for a crank line bore and balancing and counterweighting for a crank is? Thanks Sean
