Any chance anyone is looking to sell a series 5 N/A 13b? I bought one for a project of mine that was supposedly rebuilt but turned out to be completely knackered. Ideally looking for one to be in known good condition, although it will be rebuilt and ported before I use it.

Eccentric shaft

If you can't source one in the UK, you could try these guys in the Netherlands: https://rxgarage.nl/

Sorry to hear you have had this happen.

Unless you know the plates and housings are really really dead, If you would like to post up the parts we can have a look to see what may be able to be salvaged.

All the best Clive

I have spoken to garagereg about trying to save it. There's a small chance the irons would be salvageable, although they have some significant step wear. The housings are dead. The rotors are pretty beat up from an apex seal having a wonder around. I was going to try and source another engine before throwing money at this one trying to save it.

Ok thank you. Tim rebuilt my fd block a few years ago, didn't cross my mind to ask him. I'll give him a ring in a few days.
