M923 engine replacement options?
Searched the site and couldn't find the discussion that I was looking for, so here goes.
If you had to, or wanted to replace an Nhc 250 what would be your choice and why?
I am looking for all the pro's and con's, cost, fitment issues, etc, of the available...
As far as I know, mine was never rebuilt.
Showed 29,000 miles on odometer when I got it.
I know this doesnt mean squat, but it has always ran great before today.
Went to take the girls for the once a month spin down to the ice cream store.
Pre flight checks were good.

the cam lobe with the broken lifter doesn't look bad shining a light down the lifter bore.
We will know more once the engine is out.
I saw those but the rust on the bearing journals scared me a bit on that new one.
When I was younger I used to do quite a bit of high performance gas engine stuff.
A lot of the cam rules from that are stuck in my head.
