Re: poorly kwak
A P8 will fit but it isn't as good an engine and if you try to sell it on you're likely to find it difficult.

Re: poorly kwak
I've got a couple of mechanics on twitter on the case who are going to try and source an engine for me.
Worst case is buying one from the US, but the shipping is about £500.

Re: poorly kwak
The engines aren't quite the same I don't think.. pretty sure they have different oil specs and therefore seals for a start. Do your homework on it anyway

Re: poorly kwak
One of the guys on Motoforum has bought one from the US. I'll see if he's had any issues.

Re: poorly kwak
found someone selling an engine with 7k on the clock and it's done a few laps of the TT
He wants £1800 for it
I've told him it's £600 more than I want to pay.
he's put it on Ebay at £1,650
