Message	62000 km is only 40000 miles (for our American friends). Assuming that engine has compression and is reasonably priced I would grab it and consider it a gift. I would do the 120k maintenance on the new motor (while it is out and because of its age not km), get a new CHRA and some MSP manis and BDE motor mounts and then buy as many of the breather mods (pipes, ICs, etc) that I could afford and bolt it all back together. JMHO
