If you have a spare engine for sale please let me know.

What's the diagnosis on your existing engine?

Clive, y'know if the block is cracked (as may well be the case), it can be magnafluxed - I did it with mine, which lasted over 30,000 miles of daily travel in the following three years.

If it's just gone too far oversize, then it can be bored and have new sleeves inserted.

Neither option is that expensive, and the F-head engine is strong as an ox otherwise.
