    Hey.
    My water gasket on my engine has gone, and is going to cost me around £250 to get it fixed.
    I was wondering is it possible that I can swap an air cooled engine onto my bike, as i can afford the repairs YET.

    I was thinking about swapping the liquid cooled zip sp engine to a standard zip engine.

    Is that possible, and will it be straight forward job?

    Thank you

    I'd get in touch with anyone you know - I see you're in Nottingham I know a few people who may be able to sort that out if you can provide the parts for a fraction of the price. That does seem very high!

    Of course, That would be great. I can buy the parts needed.
