Thanks Bob, you've confirmed what I thought so sourcing all the bits now.
Could really have done without having to source a cylinder head assembly
though :((

Hi Jonathan,
Given that Busas still attract a premium price compared to other lump's
probably sensible to rebuild it. You're unlikely to find a decent one for
less than about £2.5k.
I rebuilt mine last year after a big end went. I used SEP
(http://www.sep-kegworth.co.uk) who reconditioned the crank and supplied new
main shells. IIRC I think it cost me about £300.
My engine went on to develop a gearbox problem so I stuck a newer one in but
the plan's to rebuild the old one again.
Probably worth speaking to Powertec and second hand parts, they often have
quite a lot of stick.
HTH,
Bob
