engine is a sohc cb750 engine number 2254476 which i bought as a basket case with the frame,wheels etc

the bike was used for racing many
years ago and the frame has been strenghened and the engine has alegedly got some yoshi bits in it and clearly has polished inlet tracks

i want the engine stripped and the cases blast cleaned and the engine put back together with new bits as required

is this something you could do for me?

Strip and rebuild yes, blast cleaning no.

If the engine is out it would only take a couple of hours to reduce to many boxes of bits for you to get the cases cleaned as you wish

engine is out of bike and ready to go / i would be very happy to wait for the engine to be stripped and take the casings away for blasting and then return to you

are you available during the week for me to bring engine up or is the weekend best

i also have a set of carbs in bits that need rebuilding is this work you can undertake?

I work nights Sunday to Thursday and i have to work outside just at the moment as my garage is full. Friday afternoon, but not this week, is a possible all depends on my wifes days off which vary and i try not to work on those as we don't get a lot of time together.

If you want to call me on 07795162623 after 8pm Sunday to Thursday we can try and arrange something.

Carbs in bits are a complete nightmare but i will give it a go for you.

Cheers
Bryan
