Project Roached-Out KX60
diesel:
I'm located near Springfield, Illinois. I appreciate the rebuild offer, but maybe I can finish the original lower end this Saturday. I'm curious whether my son will even ride the KX when it's done. He has a Yamaha ATV that he completely ignores (although my daughter rides the hell out of it). Do you think I'll need a case splitter? The 250R cases will separate with just a few light taps of the dead-blow hammer.
Coop:
I was able to split the cases on the 93 I bought my nephew just with my dead blow. I was replacing the crank so I wasn't worried about peening the old one, but the bearings did come out stuck to the crank. I had new ones of those so I didn't worry about that either.

Here's a thread and Ideas on splittin' cases :-)

There was another thread where someone used a 1/2 aluminum plate with holes drilled in it to put a bolt on the end of the crank and a few holes to run allthread to the case.

Some news regarding the eBay engine...the seller says that he'll take it back and even pay return shipping. The odd thing is, he expects me to get my refund through PayPal buyer protection...wouldn't that leave him with my money and the engine? So we'll see what route the process takes. I don't foresee filing a claim against UPS as the box arrived in beautiful condition...it was the bonehead doing the packaging that's to blame.
On the subject of tools...what's the verdict on the Tusk Crankshaft Installer? Seems to me that if I'm going to order the case splitter, then I might as well add the crank installer as well. Opinions?

Diesel,
The Tusk Crank Tool is well worth the few dollars it costs. Makes assembling the bottom end MUCH easier & sure it would have saved many people from damaging a set of cases or crank if they had it to use. Invest in one you won't be sorry.
