alex_randall_89 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 hello all !! Im new to this forum thingy but Ive got a 86 Yamaha FZ600 bike that some asshole previous owner really screwed up.. It seems he used excessive amounts of silicone on the face of the cam cover which squeezed inside and ended up in the oil pump intake in the crankcase, clogging it, restricting the oil flow and now causing the crank, cams and head to get screwed. 2 of the main bearings have spun and so has one of the rod bearings which has mostly fallen apart causing the rod to be loose and rattle (the reason i originally tore the engine apart) Ive now got a crank, two cams and a head that are scratched beyond sensible use and a bunch of worn out bearings..plus alot of silicone and metal shavings.. Im wondering where can i get another motor for this animal or all the parts to fix it? hopefully some one out there knows a scrapyard or the like.. anyways thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any info anyone might have.. -alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
