L18

Post by hsepwr »

Im after a going L18 engine in the north island and if its only the short block its ok.Flatemate had a clean out of my shed and accidently threw out a box of stuff that came off my L18 I was rebuilding.Luckilly I hadnt done any bottom end work yet and only head work.
Would rather a complete block rather than having to source stuff again and want to get it going for a hill climb in 1 and a bit months

Cheers guys
Craig

Ive got the block rods etc missing more the little things like oil pickup ,Front cover ,oil spray jet for chain ,pulley etc etc It might just be easier to find a going block and re-build that at least i know everything is there

Cheers anyway man
