you won't get a lot of power out of it but you can make it a bit better.

These are simple engines but i can't remember how i took the head off my old one as my dad did most of it!

ive rebuilt the heads on one o these a few yrs back...

quite easy following haynes manual

although some special tools are advised u can get away without them...


hydraulic tappets can be a bitch
as for power i wouldnt bother to be honest...
