So whats up with it then? Has it been looked at by a pro? Why do you think you need a new engine? Is it beyond a rebuild?

Whoops, sorry, just read your other thread. Sounds as though it could be rebuilt.

The problem is, if you buy a secondhand engine then there is no guarantee it won't need a rebuild a few hundred miles down the line, and you're not going to get any kind of worthwhile warranty.

I'd suggest you speak to Dom at Power. No doubt he'll be able to rebuild your current engine and it will come with a warranty too.
