Replacement engine

Hi all. I brought a 98 vtr a couple of months ago. It had been stood for. Several years. It is burning oil & blue smoke. Will the engine from a 2001 fit straight in.

But it might be just stuck rings, so keep and strip the old engine and see what it's like.

It could also have a bent valve or two from a failed CCT, by the way.

If so, it'll be two bent exhaust valves, front cylinder.
Just a hunch....

Welcome Bsaman, looks like you've got a project.It'll be well worth the effort. Do you still have any Beezas, wish I still had all of mine.

hey all , to add to the original question what about a 2005 in a 98? aren't those fuel injected ? if so what if i had all the electrics?
thanks

Storms were never injected, always carbs.

So a 2005 should fit fine
