Just thought I would post to say how good this one was, compaired to the last one I stripped down... From the same supplier... this one has held no horrors, just a little swarf in the engine oil, but no grit... The crank is good, cylinder head no faults this time... But the barrel is a little tattier than the last.... So maybe there are still some good ones to be had... :)

I think it all depends on what day it is assembled , you may have a Tuesday or Wednsday one there but if you are unlucky to get a Monday or a Friday afternoon one i think they may just be thrown together by a very bored or drunk mechanic !! Just my oppinion but it would explain some of the s**t that some times come through :D
