McDuff dropped off his bike at my workshop last Wednesday after it suddenly died on him.

I pulled it apart and what I found does not look pretty!

The piston looks like this:

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Lots of other problems starting from a gudgeon pin seized in the con rod's small end to seizing almost everywhere :(
For example in the cam journals and on rocker surfaces:

The engine died of oil starvation after it burned its supplies past the deteriorating piston rings.

The bike is a Suzuki DR600S 1984
As you might guess fixing this is not a re-bore and slap in new piston and rings quickie.
Looking for a DR600S engine in running condition or at least fixable or a more or less complete DR600S in any condition as long as it comes with a running engine.
Would be nice if you guys could keep eyes and ears open and ask around if someone has a suitable engine or an organ donor for sale.
You can contact me as McDuff currently is not online or phone him with offers and condolences.

Otherwise DR600S for sale. Engine buggered beyond repair.
