Anyone have a line on a low mileage engine?

I'm an idiot...

When I checked the valve clearance, I somehow missed a washer on the valve cover when I reinstalled it.  I then took a long ride on a dirt road, and by the time I noticed an oil leak, the engine had pulled in plenty of road dust.  Sooooo...

In order to keep from just parting it out, I'm looking for an engine.  Please let me know if you know anyone with one for sale.  Thanks.

Oh yeah, that would help.  It's a 1997 Tiger...a Steamer.

My fault, didn't think about it when I moved the thread. Pity you're a bit far or I might have been of some help, good luck  :thumbsup
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

any t309 t409 engine (almost anything with carbs)will drop right in
some (most) shift backwards from the tiger
even a thunderbird or legend engine will fit

What about this motor?  Will it fit?  As always, your help is greatly appreciated.
