i dont know where i learned it from. i just know
chris-mets:
oh haha so right now I am looking at trying to split the engine. 3 of the 5 phillips screws are stripped. once i split it I will clean out the engine of all metal bits, then should I look at buying the rod and bearing or a new crankshaft. A new crankshaft is about 130 bucks but a rod and bearing is 60
1989kawasaki:
here is what a 2 stroke rod looks like.and the bearing to the left is the one we are talking about
EDIT:
sorry i said right bearing but i made i mistake, its the left

yeah a rod is $60 and labour is around $130 so 130+60= $190 for rebuild. 130 for new crank. so i think we came to a conclusion.
chris-mets:
yes I understand. I can see a little and the lower bearing on the rod doesnt move with the rod and it is cracked. I think this link is perfectly what I need.

but after the bike is altogether do I kick it and it will recompress itself? also the piston is the right size for the cylinder but when the piston has the rings on it it doesnt slide in the cylinder?
