Steve Butters Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 rob i have no way to get it over to you, and i dont wanna pull the engine if i dont have to...i just dont understand...the chunks in the pics are too thick to be the rod bearing, because the rod is still tight...if i was missing a bearing that thick, it would be sloppy as hell....it has to be something on the clutch side im thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) guys on grizzly site say the marks are definitely from piston slap, which would be the noise....but that doesnt explain the metal shaving...

marlboro man Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 sounds like a bent valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 valves were fine...piston was fucked and slapping around inside the cylinder...resleeved it and bought a new piston, im in the process of putting it back together now...getting held up on the cam because i dont know how to put it back in...once i finally manage to install the cam, just need to slap the rocker cover on, add oil, and fire it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
