RTS engine quote

The bill for my engine rebuild will be £850-900 ish. That includes new alpha big end, main bearings, rebore, new piston and rings, valves and springs etc, plus cams and larger inlet valve.  I'd hoped it would be around £750:00 but I suppose the cam and inlet valve modification are worth the extra.  I see no point in doing so much work on the engine, knowing that the head needed sorting out, and not completing the job properly for the sake of £150:00. 

At least the bike will be up to spec apart from the front forks and indicators. We can then fit the indicators and put some oil in the forks and see if any oil leaks and, depending on how fast any leak might be, that will help me decide whether to just keep topping the forks up, or consider having the forks repaired!
