Yep, definitely. Even if it is a 1100S motor.

Seems pretty cheap! Make sure you check it thoroughly...

(if it's all good, good score!)

cheers

Crack test the crank- fresh ground or not, they are all old now. :lol:

Check the bores carefully and the crank as the Doc has suggested.

Bores seem alright, would need a good hone. Also comes with a second block, the bores have some slight corrosion, and looks like a valve had dropped in the 2nd cylinder causing a bit of damage, but its virgin bore, so would be able to bore out to clear that up.

Ill take some pics next week see if the 2nd can be salvaged...

Ta,
Matty

Both blocks have original caps? very important. Lots of little things will cost you $$$ if not there like primary gear, clutch cover, cam, pushrods etc etc. All adds up

Other than that sounds like a bargain. Where is it? want me to pop around to have a squiz?

So long as it doesn't need tunnel boring... mismatching caps = $$$ to sort out
