I doubt that it would even crank over, much less start.

Wow, what the hell happened to it? That's not just a head gasket... When motors get that kind of hole - it isn't the hole itself so much as what else happened to cause the hole. Did it throw a rod? That is the crank counter weight, just behind the casing, right?

Welcome to CBRF! Check Ebay - they have complete motors all the time. You might as well go ahead and take the motor out. Good thing is that it's not a stressed member bike - you can still have a rolling chasis without a motor.

Welcome to the forum. Wow that is one helluva inspection window! Craigslist is a good source you can also look for bike shops that part out bikes. Not sure where your located, but I'm about an hour north of jax fl and there are bout five places that come to mind off hand. They usually run ads as dealers on cl for parts. Just have to email and inquire. Also I have bought from sun coast cycles. Customer service is good, just have a look on their website, they part out everything.

I did get the motor figured out.

I was wondering if Anything new of a Thread or a Book for Rebuilding a Engine for Dummies. I ordered a Service Manual Online. So ill have that too look at too. But i was wondering if there was a thread that showed or Explained it more.

Thanks
