[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 113546, member: 2433"] From the photo's I would be strongly inclined to strip out the timing case as a motor in that condition may well have spindles that are also badly worn. And if you are going that far a complete disassembly , clean, inspection and careful reassembly using sound parts as needed would be in order. Fear not, it is something you can do yourself there is no need for any fancy tools. I am not suggesting that the following will be needed but about the only things you will need to get a engineering shop to help with is renewing the valve seats and or valve guides and rebuilding the crank assembly if there are issues with the big end bearing. Work slowly and methodically making notes, labeling parts and taking lots of photos. You will gain great satisfaction from the process. [/QUOTE]
