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..

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?

Steve

Thanks for that!

$1500 aint scarey at all.
