Now for my two penneth worth :shock: If it runs, it`s great, oil leaks aren`t as mahoosive a problem as some peeps think, with just a little research and decent gaskets and stuff and a little ventilation too, most can get a year or two or even more from a tired engine. Yes we`d all like a zillion horsepower under our right foot, but that`s not exactly what it`s all about initially. I`d try and nurse your little motor a bit more and get him fairly oil tight and carry on with what you is doing. If at a later date, you may want a couple more horses then you`ll be a little more rehearsed about the pros and cons of various configurations. If your motor that you have there is shagged bagged and bobtailed, then maybe another runner might be just the ticket to get you mobile for a bit, but all of them have the good and the bad bits, me,,I just want reliable ta very much. The biggest difference between any of the motors as in single port versus twin port versus a bit more cam versus some head work versus more cc etc etc etc,, the biggest difference in most of them is how worn out they are and how well have they been set up, like timing, tappets, carb etc etc etc.
