Fair play that would be sound if ye get a chance. Just to clarify for the other lads offers i'm after a mint crank for a fresh engine build so I would have to see it, @ aidan if she's stripped down whats the cranks condition? Thanks

BUMP sorry i havent replied, had to put this on hold for a bit.
@Aidan, cant really tell much from pics, but the old bearing condition does look fairly promising. Why did ye strip her in the first place
Any chance you could take the main caps off and take a few pics
of those bearings and crank including both sides of the centre thrust bearing?
sorry I know its its a pain, but if i'm gonna make the trip i'd want to see em first.
Also can you pm me a location, and idea on price/bits.

@ Alan, did you ever get a chance to check that?

Thanks

Yeah man still interested, need to find a good crank one way or another...
Not after a regrind i'm afraid - just personal preferance,
Whats the story with the good motor did ye ever run it?
