Hi all,

Sadly the Apal buggy engine seems to have failed.

After a run to/from Goodwood breakfast club recently it is thrown the majority of pushrods seals and oil is everywhere!

It was an engine of unknown quantity when I got it, and did have some money spent on it, but am wary of throwing much more.

Anyone have a running complete engine going? (Would,prefer to go up to 1600 which will mean new rainwear etc), or recommend anyone?

As much as I would love to go Subaru I don't the know I can afford the time to do it myself, or the money professionally.

Cheers all,

Jim
All the best,

Jim

Thanks!

I did recall he used to do a lot with engines on here, but couldn't find any recent activity - will ping him a message.

The pain is my old lump is a 1200 so I know I will need to fork pout on more tinwear and ancillaries if I go larger. But at least my exhaust is one with slip joints that should fit a 1200 or 1600.

Thanks again
All the best,

Jim
