Russleh Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 bought a bottom end which had a bearing go at somepoint so the crank needs a regrind but also the rod is a bit rough. not mega but will i still be able to salvage the rod ? and can a machine shop get it fixed ??

lukEp Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 the rod and crank have shells in between is it them that look rough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I've got a set of 4 nice ones here with pistons, cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 nah i manages to get the shell out as it was a bit stuck and feels a bit rough underneath. just felt a bit weary of putin a new shell on if it was gonna be fucked. @ idrees is there anything you dont have lol. ill have a better look at it to see if it can maybe be cleaned up a bit but if not ill be in touch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Cool mate, I just removed them from the block last night. Idrees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 If the shell has spun I wouldn't use the rod again the rod surface were the shell sits In is machined so should be smooth I'd recomed changing it/them from description but a picture would be good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 tried my best with my not so good camera. i thinkin lookin at it id be aswell replacing it as it has scored all the way round. not deep but the others dont. and a normal one. needs a clean tho dunno if the pictures will be of any use because there not very clear.

lukEp Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 yeh that top picture looks like the shell has spun if you have your crank ground the guy who does it will tell you what oversize shells you'll need or see if idrees has a crank to match the pistons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 has the crank got marks on it mate?if not it wont need re-grounding.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 yeh i know the crank defo needs a regrind but im trying to get a decent one cheaper than the price i was quoted lol. i just wanna be able to build it with standard bearing and it will sit in my head for ages that the crank has been modified lol.
