I own a '72 R75/5. I need rings and push rod seal. I have been having a tough time finding a mechanic that does say. "I have worked on one of these back in the day." I am trying to find someone that is regularly familiar with our machines. I live very close to Kennedy airport on the boarder of Queens and Nassau on Long Island, N.Y. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks for looking. It can include N.J. and Ct. The tri-state area is all pretty accessible around the Metro NYC area. Thanks

Contact your local Air Marshall and he can likely point you in the right direction. If the cylinder bores are good the rings & pushrod seals could easily be replaced at a tech day, just would need to make sure you had the right parts and some help.
