dc2r 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 Long story short, a back yard mechanic has snapped a cam shaft on an M50 engine, so it's looking like the cheapest option is to replace the engine. Anyone have one that runs well, is in Wellington, and is a good price? Please text 02102671599 if you have one or know of one. Thanks Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
