[QUOTE="Bman, post: 682695, member: 18225"] Wow, its been a long time since I've been here. Traded my 91 CR125 toward my customized 69 GMC last summer and haven't really been here since. I have been asked to research something for a friend. I've already been told that we could probably pull it off, but want a second opinion so we don't dump money into something that won't work. Heres the deal, a friend who really doesn't know much about bikes picked up a 80 YZ125 that had the engine/tranny in pieces. The previous owner was intelligent enough to tear absolutely everything apart despite the fact that all it needed was a top end. Well, my buddy wanted to get it running so he took it to a friend of his who told him he would want $600 CDN to put it back together, parts included. So this guy never touched the damn thing and then went off to school this fall. Everytime he comes home he just goes out and gets pissed and is now saying that he can't fix it. So all he has right now is a pile of used parts (which may not even be complete). My friend doesn't really want to throw cash out the window, and is wondering if we could fix it if we picked up a shop manual for it. We are pretty good mechanics - top 2 last year in highschool (but I guess stuff like engine rebuilds/installation and valve work isn't quite as tough as tranny work). Do you guys with experiance think it is something we could tackle or are the parts now just paperweights? If this engine is screwed, any ideas what might be an easy swap as far as other years go?
