Thanks AshimotoK0,
really appreciate your offer there, eases my concerns how I might find parts for one of these once I've started, and gives me confidence to tackle a rebuild again knowing there's a great community resource here...Once I'm into the engine and have an idea which gears I'm going to need i can always see if you have anything spare, and will be asking further advice no doubt!
Am slightly concerned what I might find...like condition of the camshaft, are these camshafts recondition-able? I know the crank was perfect when I rebuilt it with all new shells big and small ends. But the cam had a little bit of wear, it must be worn now.
thanks and merry Christmas
Ally
