A P8 will fit but it isn't as good an engine and if you try to sell it on you're likely to find it difficult.

I've got a couple of mechanics on twitter on the case who are going to try and source an engine for me.

Worst case is buying one from the US, but the shipping is about £500.

The engines aren't quite the same I don't think.. pretty sure they have different oil specs and therefore seals for a start. Do your homework on it anyway :)

One of the guys on Motoforum has bought one from the US. I'll see if he's had any issues.

found someone selling an engine with 7k on the clock and it's done a few laps of the TT

He wants £1800 for it

I've told him it's £600 more than I want to pay.

he's put it on Ebay at £1,650

He's asking about £600 too much for it.

That's the plan. It's listed on ebay so I'll watch that and see what happens.

Reads better although personally I would define the answer as "one that the opposite party accepts but is extremely upset about and bordering on suicide"

Note: Although suicide is optional, crying is mandatory (lol)
