After seeing all the threads I am tempted to start something. I've the engine, well most of it. Z2 thats got a 903 barrel & head. Hopefully whoever did this changed the crank otherwise the comprression might be a bit low

Just got to get everythig else. Leaves alot of scope.
Or i could try to get that old TL125 from my neighbour.

Project ?

I was "mis-informed" (not intentional tho')
I do have a Z650 frame + V5 with front ends (a std Z900 & a BANDIT 1200 RWU) with rear end (std Z1000 & BANDIT 600 - 160 section tyre) and tank/tail piece and brakes & down pipes, etc, etc....

Well this is the engine in all its gory detail. Interesting the clutch is marked Z2 were they different?

OK so the points housing is shagged & there is no alternator stator or rotor. How much £?

Finally managed to get the head off with some help. head was seized on the dowels so the whole lot came off & then drifted the head off the barrels.
Little bit of carbon here! Also a dead woodlouse.
No idea if these are OEM pistons having never stripped on of these before.

Yes slow indeed other projects took my interest. I'm going to break this engine I want the head & barrels mine have damaged fins.
