racer Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 ive blown two topends, both on the left side. i am also not the only person to have more problems with this side than the right. so what up with that? is there some grimlin in my left rod bearing or what?

ledofthezep Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Have you determined the cause? I don't believe it would be anything in particular...granted, is kinda weird. Have you checked your intake boot on the left side, everything back to the carb? I dunno man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 (edited) How about the crank seal? Did you check your ring gap? Is the bore right? Are the oil jouranls at the bottom clear? How did it blow?.. melt, rings, crank? You need to make a leak down tester with a vac and pvc. Edited November 15, 2004 by fixitrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted November 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 yeah a leak down is definately going to made for this go around. as for the bor and ring end gap, ill have my machinist measure all of those for me. but no i havent determined the cause.

If so, you have some major problems. 281797[/snapback] sure is. it was the result of poor decisions. i was showin off for some buds, after some buds. other wise i probably would have noticed shit going not quite right and shut 'er down. just money though, right?

FIRST BANSHEE Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 my guess is crank seals. On the left you suck air and melt down. On the right you suck oil and it's more forgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
