    So my Engine lost compression on the front cylinder.
    While removing the head, I broke the head bolt in the case. Deep in the case.
    Now I'm looking for another replacement Engine on Ebay.
    I found a lot of LATER RC36-2 But not much RC36-1 that I feel good about.
    So will the 94 up fit and work with the RC36-1 wire harness and ignition box and carbs or stick with the 90 to 93? 20250309_142109.jpg Screenshot_20250309_150459_Gallery.jpg

    Yes. I am 99.99% sure. Having never actually done it, there might some stupid little 'Honda' things that come up. But after having both versions down to a frame, engine and swingarm, I noted they are the same basic engine.

    Ignition is the same.

    RC36-I carbs are bigger, so you will need those insulators on the heads.
