Picked this up to keep me busy over the winter thought it was worth doing as on a 91 h.

The head has skimmed and polished, ported, 3 angle valves cut. I then had the crank reground and new oversize shells fitted, as the pistons were relativly new I just had the bores honed and refitted the pistons. The engine is now fully rebuilt inc a set of kent cams and a vernier pulley. The flywheel has bee skimmed and I have fitted a new clutch.

Took the turbo of the old engine to find it had alot of play up down and in and out. So I picked up a garret reapair kit. But allso found the core had alot of marks where the new bearings went in so allso picked up a new core. All back together as new with no play.
