I built this motor for myself as a spare for my rides 4 months ago, but over December holidays had nothing to do and built a 1776, so this one is now taking up space.
It has been run on the bench for about 1,5 hours, not been in a ride since rebuild, no oil leaks, no issues.
I can sell it as a sub with oil cooler R9500 or as a complete, (less exhaust), with either a alternator or genny with stock dizzy, carb & clutch (everything to make it run included) R12000.
Carb & dizzy have been re-worked and are 100% working condition, fresh paint / powder coating.
It is complete at the moment and you can come & see it run.
Runs super smooth, no knocking squeeling or tapping
Engineering costs alone on this one cost me almost R3000, do the sums, this is a good deal, cant do a simillar rebuild for the price.
Sold with a 3 month warrantee on sub.

Extremely good price!

Extremely good price!

Yes, asking price; basically covers my costs.
The only oddity with this motor is 2 different head castings, one is a original 311 casting the other a newer 042, but machine shop checked the CR and it's all good.

BUMP

[John Alves]

could it be shipped to cape town and how much?
I'm interested in the sub assembly, don't need oil cooler

[calooker]

I can pull the oil cooler R9200 for the Sub.
Got a buddy going down to CT for the Argus cycle race, if you can wait until mid March then I can get it down there.
Otherwise a courier is going to set you back R980 (only phoned 1 place), maybe you can check your end.
Let me know.

Love seeing parts change hands...

Oh and Rui I finally picked up my case and crank on the weekend... Gas mix was too good and I couldnt find my ass for a while never mind Seans house... I must just ask Bugger if sean forgot the dual valve springs behind.

But anyway thanks for the kit! I smaak it stuikend and am already itching to start the next build but I suppose I need to finnish one before I start the next...

Yes LOOOOONG time, bummer on the dual springs, they were in a KS blue & white main bearing box, check with Sean & Pierre.
