[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1379242, member: 68872"] Something isn't quite making sense, perhaps Iron Horse isn't being fairly represented here. The only way they could know that the engine was bored 20 over is to have taken the head off. To know that the water pump needs a new seal and the crank bearings need replacement would require additional disassembly. $200 isn't all that unreasonable for an engine tear down and diagnosis. Like everyone else has said this bike would be a great learning tool. Two strokes are easy to work on and you will learn a lot just doing the work your self. It sounds like you have a couple of shops nearby where you can take the parts for machining and purchase new parts so you should be in pretty good shape. Is it riding season where you are now? If you are smack in the middle of riding season then I would be tempted to just put a new set of rings, head gasket and water pump seal in it and ride it for a while. Get to know the bike a little better, find out what else might be wrong with it and plan on doing a more complete overhaul in the near future. If you can't ride right now anyway then I say tear into it. Like others have said, you could buy a one year old bike and still need to do a top end rebuild on it. Rod [/QUOTE]
