you may find the forum has hundreds of members, but only a small number of them join in.
the rest will watch for many different reasons, some are just interested in keeping up to date, up to those who enjoy others pain. or are waiting for something contravercial to happen.
as for the engine, stuart is spot on. it may be a jack french cam, but anyone may have built the engine up originally.
if i was looking to buy, i would value the engine as a sum of its parts. but you cant do that properly unless you view it. as prices are subject to condition.
camshaft can be worth £ 0.00 to £120.00
crankcase £10.00 to £250.00
flywheel £10.00 to £90.00
timing gears £ 0.00 to £30.00
crank is crap
oversized pump £10.00 to £40.00
cant see much else, so your risk is from £30.00 to £530.00
as stuart suggests, i also think the seller is selling in good faith. but may not have enough knowledge of the item. it doesn`t look to be pressure fed, he may be confused buy the external pipework. probably an external oil filter at one time.
good luck.
