[VMAX1260]

Don't know if these will help, or if he even has them, but I could call him tomorrow if you're interested.

Looks like a single rod (which is less then retail by a little bit). BUT, Cariillo will recondition the rod for less then that.

Nice tip. thanks Sean

If it ends up being that let me know and we'll arrange to have the rods sent in and reconditioned. I still have my account at Carrillo so I can maybe help you a bit off the retail price.

ok, rear cylinders compression 10 front cylinders 7.5. i should have 12 in four cylinders. timing was ok. valves measurement ok. in the oil i could see a litle gold very small metal. like dust. tommorow i will open the engine and will have more news. if my rods are bad. please let me buy them........ since i saw the compression things dont think we be good for me. and definetely Sean i will use your help. GOD HELP ME

Like I have said....none good news here - spuned bearing.

 

[VMAX1260]

ok engine down , opened my mechanic told me i saved the rods and the pistons. but the crank must be replaced. there are some wear on the pistons but no scraches so the will be no problem with them he told me. it was a spun bearing of the front left rod. i was lucky so no damage on the rod. it is time to paint and my engine. posted some picks to see the wear i told you on the pistons it is very hard notice though from the pics, the rod that had the spun bearing problem and the crank, he also told me we will have to polish the cylinders a little.

the think i dont know is with ;one spun bearing does it affect engine compression? because i had 7.5 in the front cylinders and 10 in the rear. my pistons should have 12:1 compression

Washed cylinder by incorectly set carburaors destroyed one sleeeve and crank.
Your engine is dead and will not work long if rebuilt.

The rod may not show visible damage but it will be out of round. It will need reconditioned which Carrillo can do (and we can have done with our account or you can send it in direct). The crank can be repaired (we can also have that done) or it can be replaced with a good used crank.

The biggest thing to check is the block. They tend to destroy or the crank thrust surface. Check the upper case half where the crank is retained from moving side to side. If this surface is damaged it will need to be repaired which is not a simple job. Again we can do that but it's sometimes cheaper to simply replace the block.

I've learn this lesson once Sean!
And I was not listening to advises you were giving me that time...:bang head:

This is strange. Exactly what happened to me the other day but without any mechanical noise. The starter didn't turn and then it started no problem. I rode the bike this weekend and no problem at all. Probably some coincident symptoms... Check here...
