Where do i go from here?
« on: August 17, 2014, 03:14:29 PM »
Alright so I threw a rod and broke one of my sleeves. I split the cases yesterday and found half of the lower rod, and some bearing shells, and a bent rod bolt in the lower case. Still haven't found part of the sleeve so I need to look around more down there. Do I get totally new rods? What am I assessing for damage to the actual crank?

Also It was slipping out of second gear, What am I looking for in the transmission that could cause this?

Thanks guys.

It's the 750.

I already got new jugs/pistons ready to install.

The crank looks alright, but im not sure how to assess it or measure it to check.

the other 3 rods look alright but im not sure what to do about the one that broke.
Do I just get another one to replace it off ebay or is it better to just get a whole new set?

I don't see any damage to the actual cases or the inside of the engine at all.

Figure on splitting the cases if you want to fix the tranny then take a good look around the cases for further damage/inspection. Replacement engine may be a good option.
