Sorry chaps I never spotted the responses.
The previous owner rebuilt the top end, replated barrel, new piston/bearings.
To be fair he has bought the full gasket kit, seals (I get the bearings as I work for a bearings company)
The local garage I use who is a friend as well is doing the rebuild for ?250, i stripped the engine out 2 nights ago and dropped it off.
I want to cry but when this is done it will be mint as the rest of the bikes is perfect.
Newly powdercoated frame, new plastics, graphics, tyres, carb the whole lot.
Anyway after sticking a woodruff key in it I wanted to ensure it would start and first kick it fired up but i switched it off literally after a second.
Hopefully have it back next week and I will refit the engine.
