sounds like its been bored out! i would ask for proof before you go on just word as iirc the only way to check is by measuring the bores!
1500k?? surely it must have had a rebuild since then!!! thats like 1,500,000 miles!!!!!

its probably had first over-sized pistons within its re-build, so each piston is .5 oversze or .29 i cant remember, but that will give you an extra 10cc per cylinder... giving you 1640cc instead of 1600...
vulcan tend to build some nice engines, so if its a goos price then go for it, i would...
it would take you a couple of hours to swap engines if your on the ball, if not expect it to take you 2 days

im getting it for a very very good price,and hes fitting it so must be confident,ive jus bought another xr2 with a burton stage2 head,kent cam,vernier,etc,so might chuck it on the 1640 for good measure,and thanks for replys,1.5k since build,for what im paying ill take the risk i think,cheers tony
