Listed price for an S nut is $5.21 each, so yeah..
I would have bought 8 new nuts AND rod bolts.. Chong's busted 1100S motor is a good example of why.. :lol:

Did you rebuild your gearbox aswell?

You wouldn't put new engine on old box?

Are you coming down to Gong and Kiama as there will be several new motors taking a slowish drive at varying speeds?
