There are a few bits that are not with the engine that you will need. These are bits that are specific to a big bore engine. The 1275 engine has a different shaped crankshaft and needs a bronzed bush primary gear and there are other bits. The head is misssing valve springs and collets. However basically it seems a good buy and you wouldn't get the machining done for that price. I would however send the head straight to a machine shop and have it checked. Its a well worked head that was pulled off a car and shedded - its almost sure to be warped. I am over in Gulgong, should you want a hand with it - pm me - I have the tools needed |
