I have just found out that my bikes Big end has gone. It's locking up the whole engine, and having stripped down the top end I can now feel the resistance in the bearing.
Can anyone tell me the best/cheapest/most practical repair for this problem?
I am willing and able to take the motor apart and replace the crank.
I would like advise on where to go for parts, machine shop services or replacement crank/con rod.
Thanks

Get another engine from a breaker !

Crank rebuild if you can get the parts will be expensive
2nd hand engine will almost certainly be cheaper

Thanks
I will look at all ways to get this fixed. Bit worried about an untested motor.
