    Thanks Dave. Appreciate the reply, your observations, and the recommendations.

    I keep hoping a nice 900 sells for a little more money so I feel better about what I invested in mine....and that I am not going to lose a bunch of $$ when I sell it. :)

    Thanks for keeping the registry....you received my info earlier this year when I started the resto/refurb project on mine.

    Jack

    They still have the air box, so you could just pop it back in if that's your thing. No mention of jets, so either way, I'd feel like I'd have to check...

    Yet more power per cc. They are like the TARDIS of engines.

    Well yeah... one power per rev.

    Coolest one I had to work on was a B&W slow speed diesel. 23,000 BHP, cruising speed 92 RPM... 4 stories tall.
    Somewhere I have a picture of me honing a cylinder liner, standing on the piston with 15 lb angle grinder scuffing it up and the head opening was above my head... wish I could see inside my XJ engine that clearly ;)
