Prior to losing the bodywork the engine did run (allegedly) but I'd like to strip it all and have a rebuild anyway..

I'm planning on making it a Cafe Racer.. I'll keep you posted.

why has the sodding pic gone small? Bahh

We demand a bigger picture. How far in are you going to go on the engine? Are you going to touch the gearbox [might be worth replacing the notorious spring

]

Host it on photobucket or email it to me at devil005athotmail.co.uk and I will host it for you. I have a valve grinding stick and paste if you are going to do the valves and a compression tester if you want to check the engine prior to dismantling it. Pm me if you want to borrow them.
