Hello everyone,
As some of you may or may not recall I had a strange ticking sound and posted in the forum with a couple videos for the members to look at and advise me… Well it’s been a little while but the mechanic was finally able to get to my bike and it looks like it spun a rod bearing.
I could really use some advice from the forum’s expertise:
1. What should the average cost of repair range?
2. Should I buy a new crankshaft or have this one repaired… Is there someone in Los Angeles you could recommend to re-Journal the crank?
3. Could you please recommend the reasonable parts supplier for miscellaneous parts such as complete gasket set, new rod bearings, new crank bearings or anything else you think I may need
4. Are there any upgrades that I should consider performing while the engine is apart
Please feel free to advise me with any tips or tricks or information you feel may be helpful
Thanks again for your time and consideration
Yours truly,
SR 71
