Ryan09 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Right put my engine back together all nicely and started it. Sounds great nice amount of compression etc Took it for a ride today and got about 2mile down the road when it sounding like there was a mouse in the engine and the bike cut out, ( didnt seize thank god) walked it home and stripped it down again to find coolant on top of the piston .... shit okay, checks gasket (top one) split which has let the coolant through ... nice. Round two begins and i was looking at the bottom end bearing and noticed a little bit of excessive play so thought hmm wonder if itl be hard to strip? so my next challenge is the big end. Bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted April 27, 2009 Moderator Share Posted April 27, 2009 you cant do the big end yourself, its a specialist job and needs pressing equipment and fine measuring equipment, there are firms out there that will check and rebuild cranks, look in CMM magazine...

Ryan09 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Okay, i was just having a quick read through my manual and it says that the free play is okay between 0.2 - 0.7mm so im sure im okay and il just leave it. Waiting for a new gasket set now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
