New Engine needed

[Dave A H]

Hi, my 2003 1000 VTR needs a new engine.
Can I fit any other VTR 1000 model to the frame.
any advice would be appreciated, cheers Dave

yeh course you can as long as its a f & not an sp

what's wrong with it??? is it not repairable?

someone is looking for a rear cyl head so maybe you can trade & recoup some of the cost....

I have one which I will rebuild to customer's specification before selling on, are you looking for standard or tuned?

It's an F. Does that mean i cannot drop an Sp in?
I had a total loss of oil!
Engine noise sounded like valves and head are meeting! or have met!

I don't really mind which. How much does each rebuild cost?

[benny hedges]

if you have run it dry there are other concerns rather than just the valves.
as in mains, big end, gearbox, clutch bearing etc, chains may have overheated and lost temper...
you could more or less get your money back by breaking the engine and selling the heads, starter, water pump, flywheel, stator, clutch and casings separately.
easy £200 so replacing the motor may not be as bad as you thought.
warby has one for sale and tony will build you a cracker.
