| I have also done this conversion to a 748rs, the difficult part is sourcing the parts mainly the pistons and having the right gudgeon pin size 20mm for the road bike if I remember correctly. I even visited the Pistal Racing workshop to see if I could get some eventually sourcing mine from America as old stock. Omega don't like dealing with Joe public and reasonably like taking orders in multiples. I did not hand over a blank cheque to a bike shop as they outsource most of the work to engineering shops anyway, the skill is in finding the right places to go to get the job done and not paying a middle man just to take your engine out. Crank balancing, case machining are not going to be done in a bike shop, and an engine builder is what you want as they are different to a bike mechanic. Remember that pankl rods need pankl bolts and the rods need shells etc, etc, when does it stop. |
