Just kidding.
That looks beautiful. I noted the little red dots on each bearing to show they are aligned properly with case dowel.... I think??
No Idea. A jolly nice chap called Andy did it all
Anyway. Engine arrived today waiting for me to get back from holiday and find a slot in the garage summer schedule to have it swapped out.
As soon as it’s done I’m booking a camping trip

Engine has been sat in the garage for a week or so now.
Finally going in for the surgical transplant on Monday
Went for a new carb too, new clutch ( while engine is out ) and a standard exhaust to replace my 10yr old stainless version that seems to crack every year.
I really do talk myself into some crazy situations

weird - it is modelled on the Syncro version with the vapour pot, and it is very weird that they are saying blank off the fuel return line, as that should also be connected to the vapour pot - it is as if they have never seen or fitted one and have only the chinglish description to go by
Good luck with it, we'll all be interested to know how the installation goes
also weird they don't actually appear to have stock

JK appear to have one in stock for a bit more £
Don’t make me question it now, Aidan. It’s sat in my garage waiting for Monday
If it’s rubbish, I have a few options I suppose.
