Got some plans for the ol 600 eh? Do the 750 definitely… more than enough power and with that blown headgasket you never know what might be wrong with the motor internally. ---

Where are you getting all these motors? Rip the motor apart, inspect everything, torque down properly, replace items of wear. No better time to do it then once its out and a few bucks now will save you more trouble later on. ---
