since you're gonna have it replated and new top end...now's also the time to replace all the bearings and seals in the bottom end too while it's apart.

Absolutely!!! No need tearing it apart again this year right?

Yeah I know I should but this thing is tight. It is the least vibration of any big bore I have ridden, doesn't seem to bother me. You guys are right though and I should for peace of mind.

Kwacker,
What fluid was in the crankcase? How did it look when you drained it?

The bike had a gear lube type oil in it when I got it, it had a slight greyness in it, not milky and did not smell fuel. I replaced it with rotella.
