Well that's a new one! Lucky in a sense, and very lucky it ended up in your care... I agree, there is a lot about the A50/A65 unit engines that really isn't great. I put it down to bad company management at the time, and I think that given another path in history it could have been developed into a decent, capable engine. SRM in Wales, UK are the ones developing these engines the way they should have been and they do a very good job. Good luck with this rebuild, I hope it's not too much of a headache.

Yes, fully agree, I'll have some time in the next day or two to do more digging. No history on the bike so it's all forensic wrenching.
