93 KX 500 Rebuild
Jeff90lx:
Well, I finally got around to taking measurements... I can fit .030 on both sides of the rod pretty easily... must be time to do the whole thing. Anyone have recommendations on full motor rebuilds? The closer the better... I'm in Washington. I could probably handle it, I would just prefer it gone through by an expert.

Also forgot to mention I found some cracks along the intake bridges... So maybe that's why she decided to let go... Now more than ever, I think I want to send this to somebody to go through it and fix any other outstanding issues. Sandblaster, are you looking for more work? Does anybody else have any recommendations for good thorough KX500 engine builders?
umberto:
I would definitely send a PM to Sandblaster. Your motor will come back looking and running better than new.

i used PowersealUSA and couldn't be happier. Definitely use the Wossner.

Not sure if it's the picture, but piston looks like it has major damage on its crown from detonation.
