Welcome!

At that mileage the head might need doing but maybe not the bottom end. Cam, gas flowed all good - or could look at a head exchange with TSR or someone like that.

Look forward to seeing pics

Cheers
Andy :wink:

I agree with Lawsy. Mine clocked over 200,000 when I had one. No leaks still pulled well, no undue noises. If it aint broke............it will soon. (Kiddin)
