Has anyone got an engine hoist I can borrow for a brief period. Morris' engine needs to come out so I can put my new cam in.
Cheers
Matt

yeah Gaf,
I have to look at the positive side of this. If the engine is coming out then it will get a paint job and the engine bay ewill get one also.
And as the engine is coming out and everything will be detached I'm thinking that along with the head and cam there will be LCB & RC40. What the heck, gotta sqeeze as much out of that 998 as possible.
Maybe an 1100 crank.

it started out as a simple head exchange. The 295 head is sitting in the garage waiting to go on.

As the Yanks say- "there ain't no replacement for displacement". 8)
Unless you cheat and fit a huffer or a hairdryer....

Guys, I live in Sth West Sydney near Crossroads. Travelling is absolutely no problem and I thank you all for your offers.
I guess the closest would be easiest and quickest.
Who is where ?
And Benjamin, I thank you also. Springwood is no problem either. Anyone closer than that?
Cheers
Matt
