i can't afford to the extreme, so it's getting a stock rebuild for now. if it's just a bearing and the crank/rods are ok then i'll replace them and put a good oilpump and a cooler on it.

took the mofo apart

Post by icantdrift »

tore it down most of the way and pulled off the rod caps. spun 3 rod bearings on cylinders 1/4/6, with 6 being the worst by far. 1 and 4 were still together, just spun around inside the rod end. #6 is straight trashed

i'll take more pics when i pop the main caps off.
