Chay Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Been slow going with my et project Couple of reasons for this include A:Buying online without seeing first hand what you actually getting B: finding out that not everyone is as honest as yerself Never mind I've two motors .a 1260 with fucked engine mounts and a 1100 that needs cylinder head gasket and probably a top end refresh Does anyone know a reputable engine builders that would build up the 1260 into the good 1100 cases Handy if was in scotland due to my location Quote
wraith Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 The only one I'd recommend is in Leeds, maybe someone knows someone near to you. Going to be a nice bike thow Quote
Chay Posted August 9, 2020 Author Posted August 9, 2020 Thanks Hopefully it'll turn out as planned I think your meaning roger upperton The 1260 is supposed to be one of his Anyway big valves . G2 on the inlet .nice porting. was gonna call him tomorrow Quote
Dezza Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 When you say 'fucked engine mounts' what do you mean exactly? There are several engine mounts on a GSX engine and if your 1260 motor is otherwise OK, taking it to someone who knows what they're doing crankcase repair wise is going to be a whole lot cheaper than a professional engine rebuild.

Chay Posted August 10, 2020 Author Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) The front n/s has been repaired before at some time and it's not held and has a secondary cracknow I want to build the internals from this motor in to the standard et motor Then I can see if its possible to plug and re drill the front mount Edited August 10, 2020 by Chay Miss spelling Quote
et1170 Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Highly recommend Chris Tombleson at grumpy 1260 . Built my efe from a box of bits and it flies. Bit of a way from Scotland though! Edited August 10, 2020 by et1170 Quote
