Wanted: Thunderace engine

Post by mrfrance »

Hi guys,

I am after a engine for my ace... mine is burning too much oil :(

Please let me know if you have/know of one for sale... not sure on budget, would like to keep costs low, I don't mind fairly high mileage.

Cheers

Paul

Thanks... I may just keep running the bike until it starts passing fresh oil out the exhaust then scrap it lol

try different oil, a bit thicker and mineral based. It'll help slow down the burn rate
