big end shells have left.

pop the caps on the con rods if the cranck looks ok and the shell caseings are still in the rods you can probs just wang some shells in and it'll be fine

are they easy enough to get hold of danny p ?

shells are easy enough to get hold of for the ABF, there not that expensive ether.

just have a good feel of and look at the cranck journals,  any slight marks can be removed with fine wet and dry but if you can see marks where it looks like it's been hammerd and or discolured the cranck needs out   and regrinding

same gose for the conrods if the backing plate of the bearing has fallen out and the rods been batterd on the bearign journal itself it will proably be out of round and un servicable.


but by teh sounds of it your has been caught quickly so should be no problems

found this today after i whipped the engine out


do u think there foobared ?

anyway what u reckon has the crank had it here some pics sorry there not all that but was on my phone



heres a pic of the a good one


rite so i reckon if this is ok to fix i will need to put a new oil pump on just incase its full of metal filings and then do i rplace all the shells or just the one that foobarred

option 2 a friend has a bottom end that ament to be good could i drop the crank and shells out of that into my bottom end ?

cheers

Really need better focussed pictures to be sure but the crank journals and rod cap look fubar. If they are scored as bad as the picture seems to be saying Id be throwing another engine in there and keeping your current one for the top end bits (after stripping that to check nothings been floating up there).

[danny_p]

better pics needed

its perfectly fixable you may have to have the cranck reground, i would defantly do all the shells if ones gone trhe rest are going to be worn,   think it maybe to late for that con rod tho looks like the shells ripped it up a bit,   of needed i chould fin you a rod  have a box full of std abf rods

cheers danny i think if u got a cond rod let us know how much ect m8

im goin to take it to my local company and see what he says if he says yes its repairable then all gd

also whilst its there do u think its worth getting lightended and balanced would u recomend doin it ?
