yeah,,,go for the eaby set-up; i could do the swap in a few hours. so could you. save some $$$
Thanks for the input guys i appreciate it. I put the whole thing on hold. I'll pick the bike up and tackle it myself. i'm an auto mechanic and i agree with Pockets... I could build a killer small block to replace the one in my chevelle for that price.
Thanks!
Keep us posted on how it turns out!
Wow this is one scenario I am scared to come across! :(
I would probably buy a new motor and pop in it myself.4 to 5 grand is ridiculous for a rebuild!
Will be picking up the bike soon, I'll post when I get 'er here and let you know how things turn out. Thanks to all who provided their input and took the time to help out. Chris:)
Got my bike back and pulled the engine.. it's now living in my downstairs. ( i love my wife!) warm, clean, lots of light. I have a bench set up in our computer room. Gonna split the cases this week, and i still suspect a crank bearing is done.Probably the left side.
My best guess so far is the clutch bearing went in the primary side making metal that ruined the seal at the crankshaft and did the bearing in.
As a side note, when i changed my primary oil last, i should have known something was amiss.. it took almost 2.5 litres to fill when the book calls for .95 litre. By the way..none of this is as hard as it looks. So far. :)
WOW.. Hope it goes well for ya..
Did the bearing go out in result of over filling the primary?
hey while it is apart you could go ahead and put some go fast goodies on it like a bigger bore kit or something like that :D.
I hope all goes well with this project.
The dealership was trying to rob you with that 5 grand quote.
