Just been on my local "for sale" site and there is a 2004 engine. 55k km described as "using oil"

It's up for €160, might just have a punt to practice stripdown. :whistling:

If you are going to run out of fuel, do it in your garage.

It's only a short walk to the kettle.

Worth it just for spares if nothing else.
Its even got the cam sensor there not cheap for a start.
Id love a spare cylinder head as have a few plans on the back burner  :cheers:

160€ - I wouldn't think about but will take it immediately. Yes, it could by in bad condition, but just for reference - I payed 100€ for just cylinder block only (for possible future 1550 project)...

I hear you Seth.
I thought exactly the same. So I changed a friends motor if I could keep the old one. (The usual 2nd gear issue on early models)
So I junked the old motor and kept the cylinder head.
It's still on the shelf awaiting my special plans.
