Yeah. I would send it away for a rebuid, but funds are tight at the mo. and LT-Racing is on the other side of the world to me! It's far enough down the rod that it's not gonna cause problems once I wind the spring up a bit. I reckon it was probably caused by a stone chip that was left to fester. And yes, it doesn't look like it's had a huge amount of use. There's bits of rust here and there.
On the engine side of it, I've pulled the top end apart and the clutch cover off, and it seems as though the crank bearings have collapsed. Why is anyone's guess.
The bore is fine bar a few small lines along the front, so I might send it for a light hone and get some new rings, the water pump gear looks a bit chewed and half a tooth is missing, other than that, everything else is fine, but the crank won't turn!
