Yes, worth the effort: those parts are gtting hard to get, especially in good or reasonable condition. It is coming on nicely: wish I could say the same of mine![](images/icon_smile_blush.gif) |

Hello Your engine looks awesome I bet it runs even better, Question 1- you said it was a "Holbay replica engine"are CC's same(1725cc), Question 2- why replicate A Holbay instead of just using a original Holbay. reason is that have a Holbay, I've heard and read nothing but great experiences with this engine. thank you

Hi Gijoe. The engine id 1725ccm. I an building a replica because it is impossible to get a Holbay engine here in Norway. I could buy one from UK, but the postprice is very high. My std engine is in good condition, so I bought piston from USA and the other parts from UK. Now I hope I have a "new" engine. Regards Jan |
