    Hi n welcome :) congrats on the R. If the 07 is a minter and you would keep it then rebuild it, if not break or dump it.

    As your 07 is not of any significant value personally I’d just source a complete used engine.

    Nice one guys. I've been quoted £850 to repair engine. That's for second hand crank and rods gaskets new rod bolts etc and labour. Would like to repair myself but don't really have time. Work too many hours and have a little one .i could probably pick up a complete engine for that sort of money .need to make some decisions

    Hi Mick and welcome to the forum, difficult one that, repair or replace, don't know what's involved to change engine number on log book?

    Welcome aboard Mick, hope you enjoy the forum and get the 07 sorted...or not, once you've decided.
