fitted engine milage proof ?

[WILDECELT]

Hey thanks for all your replys
Well if you read my earlier post you can see i nuked a hornet Engine in reply to Toby R ( other post) I haven't told the garage as it was about six weeks ago and though what they did seems like the likely cause of my probs it will be hard to prove i guess, and i'd only ever been to them once..
Well i'm picking the bike up tommorow with a newish ( 17.000miles) engine fitted in all it's going to cost me £500
Well what i wanted to ask was how do i know this newly fitted engine has done 17.000 miles is their anyway i can get proof and what sort of documentation should i recieve with it and do i have to inform the DVLA because i suppose the engine number will be different
And lastly do i get to start my own club as i've killed a Hornet engine don't know why i'm so positive i should be gutted well
thanks

Well you can't tell and engine's mileage unless you can inspect either the clocks from the donor-bike or a recently-done MOT. Well if it runs without any knocking/rattling and idles nicely, doesn't smoke and doesn't pump excessive amounts out of the filler-cap, you can expect it to be a good'un. Well £500 isn't a bad price at all for a "supply and fit2 service for your engine.

Well good luck with your bike in the future

If you buy a motor a good indicator if its condition is the condition of the cams, followers, rockers (if there are any) etc. Check for pitting and scoring.

Oil starvation, poor servicing usually buggers the top end first.
