Zillaguy Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Don't do it... Thats a scam.... I bought my bike running for a grand.... That bike is only worth 500ish not running and tore down... If the top end let loose, to make sure the motor will last it needs to be completely rebuilt... Not just the top end.... Most likely it was severely overheated when it let loose, which damaged every seal and gasket in the motor... I would send the crank off have it trued, welded and new bearings put on it.... You'll have nearly $1000 into rebuilding a stock motor... You're better of buying something that runs and give yourself a good base to start with, not someone elses problem.... Quote
silverado7308 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Posted November 3, 2013 He said the top end started rattling so he shut it off and when he went to start it it wouldn't fire. Apon taking I apart he said it had a stuck ring. Quote
dave5.0 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 I'd pass on it man. Unless the dude is offering up cash. Or maybe pull the engine out of your truck and offer him the shell. 1 Quote
joey83 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Rattling because of a stuck ring? Its pretty clear you're not going to listen to anybody so ----I have a stock crank, 64mm virgin top end with new wiseco pistons I'll sell cheap. Quote
