200x engines

pm sent, can't wait

Great call virus, commend you partner. Good to see someone taking advise. You'll have one hot x now. When we built out 1st x a year or so ago, a used 1st generation X motor in o.k. condition was going for $500-$600 (they were basically running junk), with only 1,300 parts listed on e-bay, so I just went out and bought running whole bikes for a couple of hundred dollars and then switched one of our X's to a auto-x with a 200 and 185 ATC motor. Now there are 3,756 parts, so a motor in reality should only go for a couple of hundred. I have bought two running 200x's for $250 a piece and one for around $300(?). So a rebuilt motor with the parts oscarmayer (and skilled labor to boot) mentioned is awesome. Waiting for the x motor in son's to go out, and hope to find a steal like that too.

ok me PMed me, I gotta find out about shipping to him. But IU know that it typically costs about $50 $60 to ship an engine like this with insurance. I'll insure it for $800 why? because to get another one, redo it the way I did would cost nearly $800 w/ the shipping. (new timing chain, new gasket set, new oil seals, new cam, new piston, new valves, new springs, new tons of crap in the top end area. so you should be good for a while.

Give me about 3-4 days to build a crate so I can get it weighed. I'm going to build a small wooden frame out of 2x4 screwed together so I can ensure this thing does not take any pounding, then wrap it in cardboard to fool the postal so it's cheaper.

Sorry, but I'm very picky about my motors when I ship something because I do not want any reason for it to get damaged.

I'll keep ya posted.
