Have you tried Nymeyer at Belmont, they rebuilt my engine after I ran it out of oil (long story) and it has run sweet as 3 years now, he may also have a replacement.

I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

Depends on what needs to be done to your engine to resurect it, mine cost around $800 but I ended up with a virtualy new engine. best to ask them.

$800 is dirt cheap for even just a top end re-build, ask heaps of questions about everything being done to your engine.

bitten by the bug..........several times
