Hey thnx heaps iv had so much trouble with this, do ya know if ya can buy them anymore anywhere any details would be great..

[elky]

these motors were never sold new in OZ so parts are harder to get

best thing to do is just find a s/hand one, use it then reco it when needed, as most of the parts are the same as sohc

cheers

oh okay then well if ya know of anyone with a spare starter let me know as i cant do anything else atm... really need one

Short Bellett starter will fit. Have you thought of a Rodeo Diesel one. That is what I have used.

Just concluding this thread, I now own this engine, complete with twincam starter.

I'm curious about which exhaust chester288 was using though, the stock header hits the engine mount (but not the starter) for me.. Mate if you have any other twincam exhaust lying around let me know!!
