Er... why not just search out a lowish mileage engine from a car thats been serviced properly... it will be a darn sight cheaper and less hassle...

The 2L in my leggy has 162k miles on it now... and I think I only put 0.5L of oil in between services... (prev owner ad it serviced every 6-8k at subaru) I have done over 7500 miles in 10 weeks...... If anything hapens to the car and the engine survives, I may well fit it in the doka....

It just sounds rattly and i think it is under powered.

Si, I think Tony's talking about his Husqvarna dirt bike. I'm pretty certain (hoping) his Scooby engine is sound. :ok
