    After checking out the engine I managed to get hold of a 1995 engine minus cylinders and top cover from Ebay
    Next job is to fit it with all the parts required

    Here's a picture of the damage, and holes in the casings

    Hard luck there mate. Poor old engine took a beating. Glad it's in good hands that will make it live again.
    Regards
    Joe.

    That might take a whole roll of duct tape to fix

    Araldite! Plenty of araldite. Fixed a hole in the crankcase cover of an xl250 that I put the foot peg teeth through. Lasted for years
