1951 NORTON INTERNATIONAL MANX RACING ENGINE MATCHING NUMBERS EXCELLENT PROJECT

The best way to buy one of these very special engines is ALL APART so you can see what you are? paying for. This engine is a beauty . Have a close look. The main bearings ? feel like they are new. The cases are matching?  and ? the numbers ? ALSO match on the? cam box and it's cover. The cams are in good shape as are the rockers and followers. ? Bevel gears and bearings etc are excellent. Everything turns smoothly including the oil pump still in the timing case. The head looks superb with no broken fins and what look like brand new valves although the guides show wear. The exhaust? threads are? superb. One chipped fin on the lower end of the barrel. small cracks at the clearance cutouts at the barrel bottom which I have pictured. No big gouges in the cylinder. ?  I have no piston that fits the bore ? and the cylinder may need resleeving if you are going to build a racer. ? The rod shows a trace of up and down? but the assembly looks totally unmolested and polished . I believe it may be Manx as the rod is huge. I have lots of other rare Norton bikes. parts and other rare makes and models and like to swap. ? I am looking for a G50 Matchless engine or parts. I was going to re assemble this engine for a photo but then I thought this is the best way to ship it anyway. I can re? assemble it if you want. ? Shoot your questions to me I am oldmill@kingston. net ? or 613-273-5036 ?  ? I can ship this anywhere in the world. Payment by bank transfer. ? Thanks for looking
