|
|
Hello-
The good news is that I scored some Okrasa heads this afternoon. The bad news is that they're kind of rough, and I don't have the rest of the kit. I've seen some repro parts (air cleaners, valves, cams) but linkage and manifolds seem to be less common. Other than Mr. Okrasa (sorry, I don't have that much money ), is there a good source for these parts?
Thanks,

There is no source for these parts. As far as finding the parts, you need to hunt and place wanted ads. You may end up paying more in the end than if you found a complete engine. Parts are hard to find, and good ones are expensive. It is easy to get shitty parts and if you need to redo them, you pay out the nose.
You probably bought the $100 heads that were advertised. You are going to have to spend some decent cash to get them up to snuff. Go cheap, and you will end up paying for it later. _________________ Kevin "Wiggy"

I think Alejandro Martin (almar9) has made some repro intakes, linkage is easy to make yourself or maybe he does that too. Check judson registry and I think you will find Alejandros addres. |
