When i had a badly rumbling Suzuki TS and i needed to get to college the next day and already had the new main bearings ready, I managed to split my engine, warm up then prize the old bearings off, put a new one in crankcase and one on other on crank, whack it back together, put it back in the bike have it running again in 3 hours
That was one of the flukey times everything went well though. Sometimes you can just plain and simple be unlucky and be slowed down by auquard problems like the bearings not seating properly. Or even worse you do what i once did with my NS engine, re-build it all and only when you start it do you realise youve not timed the balance shaft up. Then youve gotta take the engine back out and take the clutch cover off. How anoyed at myself was i that day . must have been tired
Anyway about the time your engine can be sorted in, if you inform the bike shop in advance, they should be able to do it all for you in the same day. Thats if yours is the only job though. Ring around and see what they have to say.
Id also let someone in the know have a listen to it first. Clarify my suspicions. If you had a portable microphone you could record the sound as a WAV file and id tell you straight away what the problem was.
Anyway take the complete engine to a shop and they'll sort for you.
Good luck with it ____________________ Like shit off a stick |

Took the engine out (workshop manual didnt say i had to take the radiator off, bout an hour stressing bout that). ill take it 2 this good bike shop tommorow, was making more scratching sounds, so i think its the nickasil bore thats mufed. any way ime meant to be doing a levels otherwise i would do it myself.

Old Thread Alert!
