The Culprit

I removed the connecting rods and the spun bearing. One of the rods was warped and not usable. So far  the parts list is crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, rings, and whatever bearings need to be replaced.

This project is looking much more like an engine swap than a rebuild. I have been looking for an engine, but prices are high! I am still kicking around the idea of bailing on the project and just parting it out.

Logic would say part it out, but this bike has some great upgrades and I would love to ride it. I have the spare bodywork up for sale now.

Here's some pics of the spun bearing. The two halves have been fused together.
