Title: Need Crank and Case
Post by: playmemuzk on October 06, 2008, 10:23:19 PM
I need an engine from the heads down.   I pulled my motor apart and the heads/carbs/valves are perfect.   Just one lung of the crank destroyed.    Part of the gear cover is broke, too, so please include that.....  I really would like something with low miles, as the cams ect are all within new tolerances (didn't ride it much before my 'friend' toasted the bottom end).   Anyway, she's an '89 GS500ek and if you got, post up and we'll talk!  Thanks all!

I just tossed a complete bottom end for one of these not more than 3 months ago.

Buy a whole good motor.
I also have a bad crank/rod/cylinder ... not worth messing with it.

Not worth the 900 bucks it will cost to do that ... new bearings and these have to be precisely machined and welded up and turned down etc etc ...
I can get people to do this stuff, but its still not worth it ... I spend 100 bucks re furbishing a head, and I aint going below the cylinders.
Cool.
