I hope you turn the the thrust washers the correct way when you put the cases back together, in the pic above they are backwards!

The thrust bearings? On the diagram they show the slits facing in?

And the engine is running..... everything fine so far

Yep, good catch. Something I should have looked into a bit more after wondering which way they went. Took the diagram to heart and went with it. I'm glad you caught it! But it killed my heart to hear. Going to be breaking her open again..... hopefully it'll be a bit smoother after all the knowledge gained. I did replace the drive shaft seal but didn't replace the circlips... 3rd time is the charm

My k&n air filter has about an inch of separation between the rubber top and the air box. Anyone run k&n filters? I would think the rubber cover of the filter should be flush. Maybe the guy I bought it from bought the wrong model?

Anyone happen to know where this came from? Hollow small pin looking thing. Cant find it on the diagrams or where it would be from. Looks like it sheered off on one side. Found in the bottom of my pan when I broke it back open

or a guide pin in one of the 2 halfs of the crankase i guess

and the piece itself at the pic above is not faulty - you have some of these "open" and hollow pins inside motor.

I'm going to check all my roller bearings i guess. I wouldn't think they were hollow. I don't see any spots for a guide pin this small on either side. Other than it being sheered off i agree, just want to know where it came from

Talking about the ones that fit in the notches? Pulled both shafts out, both pins are there and solid not hollow

ok you´ll know better - do you?

these pins are definitely hollow and a bit beveled at one end .

ironic question - how many of them, "outa my collecting box", should i send you ??

Ill take pics in the am!

 

[lafave132]

Here's both of mine... don't appear damaged or hollow. Forgot to take pics of the guide pins but I have 4 that are much larger than the broken hollow pin I posted previously.

Check the cam tensioner cap that runs on the runner

 

[GIXERHP]

did you ever remove any of the rods?

That pin looks to me like a spring type ‘roll pin’ as in this pic,

I just can’t think of where this pin would be used in the engine
