Interchangable parts?
ihampson:
Well i suppose i have to split it sooner or later anyways. any luck it will come apart as quick as the rotor! Watch this space to see what other trouble i find!!!
How`s your kdx doing cr480?
CR480R:
If the seal is bad theres a good chance the bearings need replaced too... As for my KDX I am having problems getting the crank true... I may just end up buying a new one... I still need to alter the powervalve lever, but I going to wait until the final assembly.. Other than that I have everything figured out... I really want to get it going so I can start a new project.
ihampson:
I thought i would replace all of the bearings, seals and what ever else i found wrong anyway, just for piece of mind. its a long drive to the place my mates ride and the last thing i want is the engine to go bang and i have to sit and watch everyone else have all of the fun!
I have put some specs for your crank in your kdx post, they are from the 82 - 91 manual but could be usefull. is the crank bent or will it not press together true? Sounds like a nice project you got and has given me a bit more faith in getting my bike working sometime soon!
CR480R:
Yeah pressing the crank myself with out a proper fixture has turned into a mess... its almost within specs, but I am having trouble getting the wheels to move with any sort of control.... If I dont get it dialed in soon I may end up just buying a new one
ihampson:
Ive never pressed a crank before but a guy i know told me he uses v-blocks and some angle iron to make a jig for the bench press. Cant remember exactly how he explained it but next time i see him i will find out. What are you using to press it at the moment? What do you mean when you say "getting the wheels to turn"? Sorry, i`m new :?
