Well I let a friend install my 107 kit. Had problems with over heating so took it to ghetto choppers in Oceanside. They broke it down had oil and metal flakes all in the engine. He should me some of the parts and you can see the heat cook the oil pump plate. He send the pump back to fueling to be tested they said it was done. Told me I needed a whole new engine.

Sux man. I had a 107 go south. Went with a 124". No looking back!


Either of those two choices are solid.

Aww man I'm sorry to hear that. That blows. Some of your parts should be salvageable...heads and Cylinders. You can sell them and other stuff to maybe get some of the $$ back.
